Royne Thuo — Frontend Engineer & Designer
Hi, I'm Royne Thuo, a frontend-leaning full-stack developer who cares deeply about the details: interaction design, motion craft, and performance. I build interfaces that feel alive, from pixel-perfect layouts to the micro-animations that make a product feel considered rather than assembled.
My biggest project to date is kira.co.ke, which I took from wireframes in Figma through to the frontend implementation at Revolution Analytics. Day to day I work with TypeScript, React, and Node.js, backed by a broader toolkit that spans Python, Java, and SQL, and I sharpen my frontend skills with daily UI challenges.
This portfolio is shaped like an operating system because I enjoy turning navigation into a story. Every window, dock bounce, and glassmorphic surface here was built by hand to feel like the real thing.
