About the engineer
Results-driven software developer with experience building scalable web and mobile applications across startups, nonprofits, and growing digital brands. I specialize in translating business and operational needs into clean, high-performing technical solutions — with a particular focus on products built for the Kenyan market, from M-Pesa integrations to mobile-first service marketplaces.
What keeps me at the keyboard is watching a real business problem — a retailer losing track of stock, a church that needs an easier way to reach its members, women who can't find a court to play on — turn into software people actually use.
