👋 Hi, I’m Caleb Kiragu

I’m a Web3 engineer and builder from Kenya, passionate about creating scalable products that bridge crypto, finance, and real-world use cases. My work is driven by the belief that blockchain technology can make money programmable, borderless, and accessible for communities across Africa.


đź’ˇ What Drives Me

  • Financial inclusion: Building tools that let merchants and individuals easily transact with stablecoins.
  • User-first design: Ensuring Web3 feels simple, intuitive, and reliable for everyday users.
  • Infrastructure for Africa: Creating payment rails and products that solve real merchant and remittance challenges.
  • Learning by building: I thrive on rapid iteration—turning ideas into working prototypes and live products.

⚒️ Skills & Proficiency

  • Blockchain: Solidity, Rust, Web3 integrations (Ethereum, Base, Solana)
  • Backend: TypeScript, Python, Go
  • Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript
  • Product: Smart contract design, system architecture, and Web3 infra integration

🚀 Interesting Projects

  • RiftFinance – Stablecoin payment infrastructure for African merchants; supports multi-chain wallets and merchant APIs.
  • ChainAfric – A multilingual wallet + portfolio tracker that lets users follow any wallet across chains in their preferred African language.
  • Refacto.ai – A GitHub automation tool that formats code, adds documentation, and suggests fixes using AI.
  • BrandBuilder – An AI-powered personal branding platform helping professionals generate CVs, LinkedIn revamps, and portfolios.

🌍 Why I Build

I believe Africa has the chance to leapfrog traditional financial systems by embracing Web3. Every project I work on is a step towards making crypto usable, trustworthy, and impactful for real people and businesses.
