Web development · AI integration · IT support

I build and deploy complete, working products: an election guide, AI-powered apps, publishing platforms, and management systems. I work across the stack, from the front end to databases and hosting, and with LLM providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepSeek. I’m also an IT support technician, and I run Everton Creates, an independent practice offering web development, AI consulting, and IT support.

Siasa Compass share banner

Built Kenya’s 2027 election guide: independent research on the presidential race, all 47 counties, polls, and leaders’ records, without ranking leaders, predicting results, or endorsing anyone. Its quiz matches your views to leaders on six policy dimensions, placing them by their documented actions first and their stated positions at a lower weight.

The site has pages for every county, 99 head-to-head comparisons, leader records, biographies, articles with an RSS feed, and search. A TypeScript build turns data files into the static site and refuses data that doesn’t add up, and GitHub Actions update the poll tracker every six hours and draw link-preview images for new articles.

CV Coach

  • Anthropic · OpenAI · DeepSeek
CV Coach banner

Built an AI web app that reads a CV as a PDF and finds live vacancies that fit it, pulling listings from The Muse, Adzuna, or JSearch and giving a one-line reason for each match. A second mode scores the CV against a specific job description, flags gaps by severity, surfaces missing ATS keywords, and adds a prep plan and practice questions.

For any listing, it can rewrite the CV and draft a cover letter on request. Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and DeepSeek sit behind one swappable provider interface, with Zod validating every model response and server-side PDF text extraction.

IQ Test

  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Vercel
IQ Test home page

Built ten timed self-assessment tests, from IQ and memory to critical thinking, decision-making, and processing speed. The IQ test covers logical, numerical, verbal, and spatial reasoning and gives an estimated score and percentile.

Each run draws a random, category-balanced set from a larger question bank, so repeat attempts differ. Scoring is weighted by difficulty, with partial credit on scenario questions and speed bonuses on timed tests. Progress is saved in the browser so a test can be resumed, and everything runs client-side with no accounts or backend.

Kimathi Space home page

Built and deployed a live blogging and publishing platform used by real readers. A password-protected owner login switches between public and private modes, so the owner can edit content, upload images, and publish updates while visitors see the published version.

Inventory, sales, and reporting for small businesses, with a Windows desktop app and a web app that share one business-logic library. It has Admin, Manager, and Staff roles with 22 permissions and an audit log, PBKDF2 password hashing, and PostgreSQL on Supabase with an in-memory demo mode.

It ships as a Windows installer with SHA-256 checksums for each release, and the web version is being prepared for hosting.

Personal

Away from the keyboard I play badminton. I was in my high school debate club, which is where I learned to explain things clearly.
