Hi, I'm
James
Niyongira
I build fast, user-focused software with a strong emphasis on design and reliability.
Experience
Fullstack Software Engineer
Architecting and delivering core features across WrightCrew's staffing platform; from the React Native mobile app to the web client and Go backend services. I own the full development lifecycle of key product features, manage production infrastructure, and drive technical decisions that directly impact platform reliability and user experience at scale.
Founding Engineer
Designed, architected, and shipped an entire SaaS EdTech platform from the ground up — backend, frontend, payments, and infrastructure. Flairspot enables content creators to distribute and monetize their work through paid memberships at scale. I continue to own every layer of the stack, from database design to deployment pipelines.
Rich Text Editor
Engineered a production-grade rich text editor originally built as a core component of the Flairspot platform. Open-sourced it after significant demand from the developer community — one of the most technically complex pieces I've shipped, now freely available for others to build on.
Let's Connect
Always interested in new opportunities, collaborations, and conversations about technology and design.
