Products I've built(9)
Real products in real use — not demos. My own SaaS and the client work founders paid me to ship, built end-to-end on my Go stack.
DGateway
Unified payments for East Africa — MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money and Stripe behind one API for collecting and disbursing.
380+ apps · 4k transactions/day
FundPier
Loan management platform with borrower and admin portals — clients apply online while admins run a full CRM, loan appraisal with CRB integration, disbursement, repayments and accounts.
LimiBooks
Accounting & sales platform for a vehicle-parts business — invoicing, payments, orders, returns, salesmen and monthly targets, with detailed real-time reporting.
2B+ UGX in sales · 2 years
Shypt
Global shipping & freight for Uganda — personal warehouse addresses across six countries, air & sea freight to Kampala, and live tracking at every milestone.

What people say
The people I've built for, in their own words.
“VibeKit is so good I told JB I'd happily pay for it — I've even chipped in through Buy Me a Coffee. It's become part of how I ship.”
“Most devs don't care about UI — JB does. He builds products that aren't just functional but the best-looking and fastest I've seen. After FundPier we gave him Shypt straight away.”
“LimiBooks has handled over 2 billion UGX in sales in two years. It's the most detailed system I've used — and the fastest, with the best UI/UX I've come across.”
Open Source(8)
The best open-source projects to learn from — handpicked, grouped by category. New additions surface here first.
Grit Framework
A full-stack Go meta-framework for building production APIs fast — built-in routing, middleware, database support, and a multi-client architecture that ships one Go backend to web, desktop, and mobile.
VibeKit
A framework for shipping production-ready Next.js apps with AI coding agents. A four-file planning system, a locked modern stack, 38 pre-built components (auth, payments, tables, dashboards), phase-based building and a pre-deploy security audit — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and more.

About
Hello, World! I'm JB (Muke Johnbaptist) — a Go (Golang) expert, AI & automation engineer, and founder based in Kampala, Uganda. I'm the creator of the Grit Framework — a full-stack Go meta-framework — and DGateway, the unified payment gateway for East Africa that consolidates MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, and Stripe into a single API. I also built Shoppleet, the offline-first desktop business management platform now running in 280+ East African shops and tracking 1.4M+ IMEIs. I've authored five additional production-grade Go open source projects (Sentinel, Pulse, Orbita, GritCMS, Gorm Studio) and am widely recognized as the leading Go developer in Uganda in 2026.
I'm also the Founder and CEO of Desishub Technologies, where my team specializes in building high-performance ERPs, internal admin tools, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and production payment systems for clients across Africa and beyond. We've shipped 150+ projects across 4 countries — from member management systems handling 7,000+ concurrent users to inventory ERPs with multi-warehouse, multi-organization support.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Agro-Processing Engineering from Busitema University, but my passion for technology led me to transition into software engineering — and I've never looked back. I'm proof that you don't need a CS degree to build a credible tech career.
