Nick Kengne
Passionate full-stack engineer with 4+ years of experience designing responsive interfaces and building robust backend architectures. I ship products that solve real problems — from mobile apps to SaaS tools — and I write about what I learn along the way.
“Shipping features at the speed of thought.”
Projects
AI-powered SaaS that transforms raw Git commits into beautiful, human-readable changelogs. Built for developers who ship fast and need their users to understand what changed.
A premium, modular React Native component library giving mobile teams a consistent design system to accelerate shipping across iOS and Android.
Self-hosted file sharing platform built on Next.js, Cloudflare R2, and Coolify. Optimized for large files with multipart parallel uploads hitting 2 GB/s.
Tech stack
Experience
Designing and building end-to-end web and mobile applications — from frontend UI components to backend services and infrastructure automation using event-driven architectures.
Co-building a self-hosted file-sharing platform. Architected the multipart parallel upload system on Cloudflare R2 that achieved a 100× throughput improvement.
One of the founding engineers on a React Native spiritual app (Nora Studios, San Francisco). Helped grow the product to 30 000+ downloads and $2 000+ MRR in 60 days.
Working on efficient backend solutions.
Education
Focused on distributed systems, software architecture, and advanced backend engineering. Final thesis on event-driven microservices at scale.
Core curriculum in algorithms, data structures, web development, and object-oriented design. Graduated with honours.

This is not a list of marketing hacks. This is what I actually used, why I used it, and what it changed.
The Three Things That Actually Make an App Succeed
Design, marketing, and value are not competing priorities. They are a sequence. Get the sequence wrong and the whole thing fails quietly.
CORS: The Complete Deep Dive — From Preflight to Production
Everything you need to understand, debug, and configure CORS correctly — with real examples from Rootz.so.
From 20 MB/s to 2 GB/s — How I Optimized File Uploads in Rootz
