Overview
Designed, developed, and deployed Kuzafy, an end-to-end e-commerce solution engineered to bridge the gap between social media selling and structured retail. I architected a seamless transition from chat-based interactions to completed transactions, providing merchants with an automated storefront and a unified dashboard to close deals instantly in the local market.
Technical Execution
Full-Stack Development: Built a high-performance, mobile-first shopping experience using Next.js and React.js, leveraging TypeScript to ensure a robust and type-safe architecture for financial transactions.
Fintech Integration: Developed a secure payment gateway by integrating the M-Pesa API, enabling automated, real-time local payment processing and instant merchant notifications.
Operations Management: Architected a centralized merchant dashboard to unify sales tracking, inventory management, and business analytics into a single “glanceable” interface.
Infrastructure & Security: Leveraged Cloudflare to optimize global content delivery and enhance security, ensuring that automated storefronts remain fast and resilient against high-traffic social selling surges.
Result
Delivered a conversion-focused platform that empowers African merchants to scale their operations through automated social commerce. By owning the entire lifecycle from the initial Figma prototypes to the final deployment I merged complex payment logic with a user-centric design, creating a scalable foundation for the future of automated digital trade.
