Co-founder & lead developer of Kinomos

A business discovery and directory platform

Kinomos home page on a laptop and on a phone, "What are you looking for?"

Kinomos helps people discover businesses and the community around them. I created it and built it end to end, from the page design to the server it runs on.

What I built

  • Business listings and directory pages modelled in Wagtail, so content can be edited without touching code.
  • A Django backend for accounts and payments with Paystack.
  • Background jobs with Celery, so email and slow tasks don’t make visitors wait.

How it runs

Docker Compose on a DigitalOcean droplet: the web app, PostgreSQL, Celery workers and Nginx in front.
