I build GenAI, RAG, and document-processing products from strategy through production.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I'm building RagAdmin, a production-grade RAG pipeline management and evaluation platform for document-heavy workflows. I design end-to-end GenAI and intelligent document processing systems, from customer discovery and product strategy to Python/FastAPI, React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Docker, and production evaluation.
At Microsoft, I owned product strategy and roadmap for the OData SDK portfolio and performed API design reviews for Identity and Access Management APIs onboarding to Microsoft Graph. At Andela, I managed up to 20 senior remote engineers, owning delivery quality and client success across global teams.
Across fintech, IoT water management, mobile data collection, and software products, I've led product concepts, architecture, roadmaps, engineering teams, and agile delivery. I also publish practical guidance on AI engineering and am developing enterprise GenAI training on fundamentals, workplace use, and RAG foundations.
