I build software that businesses actually run on.
I'm a software engineer focused on building operational systems for real businesses — not tutorial projects or demo apps.
Most of my work lives at the intersection of complex backend architecture, multi-role access control, and third-party integrations (M-Pesa, Africa's Talking, Resend). I think like a businessman first and write code second, which means I care about what a system needs to do before I decide how to build it.
Currently working across logistics, fintech, public sector SaaS, and algorithmic trading.
Multi-portal logistics management system for a Kenyan cargo and China-sourcing company
A production-ready platform with 10 distinct user roles, built on Next.js 15 and MongoDB Atlas. Integrates M-Pesa STK Push for payments, Africa's Talking for SMS notifications, and Resend for transactional email — all behind a role-aware interface that surfaces the right controls to the right people.

Internal operations platform for a Kenyan FMCG distribution business
Built for ~20 active users across 4 roles: tracking LPOs, catching invoicing variances, logging GPS-verified merchandiser attendance, and generating PDF/CSV reports. Packaged as a PWA so field teams can use it on mobile with no installation. Currently evolving into a multi-tenant B2B SaaS product.

I study how a business operates before I write a line of code. The goal isn't to build software — it's to remove friction, automate what shouldn't be manual, and create systems people trust enough to run their operations on.
That's why I keep gravitating toward enterprise systems rather than simple apps. Multi-role access, real-time data, third-party integrations, and failure recovery are where the interesting engineering lives.
Building something in the East African market and need an engineer who understands both the technical and business side?
