EbenKwete

Montréal, QC — Available for work

Eben Kwete

Web developer crafting fast, considered interfaces — from pixel to production. I design it, I build it, I ship it.

01Selected work

Three products, in production

Not concepts or class projects — live systems with real users, real payments and real data pipelines behind them.

01E-commerce

Elyra

Beauty e-commerce, end to end

A full direct-to-consumer storefront for an LED skincare brand — catalogue, checkout, editorial blog and an automated content pipeline. I own the design, the storefront, the admin and the infrastructure.

02B2B SaaS

Immobilius

B2B real-estate intelligence

A SaaS that tells commercial real-estate teams which companies are about to need space. It watches funding rounds, headcount growth and executive hires, scores the signal, and drops the qualified lead on a map.

CapitalHype

Content agency site + CV engine

A done-for-you content agency for notaries and accountants. A narrative, scroll-driven site with a real-time 3D hero, plus an internal engine that turns a profile into a formatted, downloadable CV.

02About

I build the whole thing — design included.

I started building for the web in 2019, on my own, because I wanted to make things that existed outside my head. Five years later that instinct met formal training — a bachelor's degree in web development — and the two turned out to reinforce each other.

Today I work across the whole stack. Design systems and motion on one end, PostgreSQL schemas and Stripe webhooks on the other. I like being the person who can take a product from a blank Figma file to a live URL without a handoff.

I'm based in Montréal, work in English and French, and I care about the same three things on every project: it should be fast, it should be clear, and it should actually ship.

03Services

What I actually do

Three disciplines, one person. That means no handoff, no translation loss, and no waiting on someone else to unblock the build.

01

UI / UX Design

I am not a pixel perfectionist — I am a user flow perfectionist. Clean, focused interfaces where every element earns its place, from colour and spacing to layout logic.

  • Design systems
  • Prototyping
  • Motion
  • Accessibility
02

Frontend Development

I do not just build what looks good — I build what feels right. Structured CSS, deliberate interaction, and animation that carries meaning instead of decorating a page.

  • React / Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind
  • WebGL
03

Backend Development

I like backends that simply work — fast, secure, built to last. Auth, payments, data models and admin logic: the foundation that lets a product scale with confidence.

  • PostgreSQL
  • Supabase
  • Stripe
  • API design

04Journey

How I got here

Self-taught first, formally trained second, shipping ever since.

  1. 2019 — 2021

    The Beginning

    I started teaching myself web development with the aim of making a career out of it. Static sites, then dynamic ones, then everything I could break and rebuild.

    • HTML / CSS
    • JavaScript
    • Self-taught
  2. 2022 — 2024

    First Missions

    I built sites for free for people around me, then worked with companies including Tomorro, Favikon and Goodvest. In parallel I shipped a learning platform for students.

    • Client work
    • Learning platform
  3. 2024

    Bachelor's degree in Web Development

    Formal validation of the craft — and the point where self-taught instinct met structured computer science: data structures, databases, architecture.

    • Computer science
    • Databases
    • Architecture
  4. 2025 — now

    Shipping products

    Three products in production: an e-commerce brand, a B2B real-estate SaaS and a content agency platform. Design, code and infrastructure, end to end.

06Process

Four steps, no mystery

Discover

Who is it for, what must it do, and what would make it fail. Scope before pixels.

Design

Flows first, then interface. Every screen exists to move someone one step forward.

Build

Typed, tested and readable. Written so the next person — often future me — can move fast in it.

Ship

Deployed, measured, iterated. A product that is not in production is a prototype.

07Contact

Let's build something worth shipping.

Freelance projects, product work or a full-time role — if you are building something that has to actually ship, I want to hear about it.

Usually replies within 1–2 business days.
