Building Innovative Digital Solutions Through Technology.
Peter Mbiu —
I design and build modern software, intelligent systems, and geospatial solutions that solve real-world problems. My work combines engineering, technology, and innovation to create scalable digital products that improve businesses and communities.

About
Engineering, geospatial science, and software in one practice.
My background sits at the intersection of engineering and technology. I started with systems and spatial science, then moved deeper into software — building web applications, digital platforms, and data tools for organisations that need dependable technology rather than experiments.
I work across the full stack: interfaces in React and Next.js, services in Django and Node.js, and data in PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Supabase. Alongside that, GIS remains central to my work — QGIS, ArcGIS, and Google Earth Engine let me answer questions that only spatial data can answer.
I'm actively invested in AI, automation, and cloud technologies, and I treat continuous learning as part of the job. What keeps me interested is the same thing each time: solving meaningful problems for real people, with software that holds up in production.
