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 — Flare — a full-stack framework that runs on either Cloudflare or Next.js — 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 28+ East African shops and tracking 10k+ products. 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.

Let's build something — reach out anytime.

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.”

SM

Solomon Mutagaya

Chemical & Software Engineer

“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.”

TD

Tayebwa Denis

Founder, FundPier & Shypt

“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.”
