KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Kwara, I architected and deployed automated B2B workflows integrating complex datasets for enterprise SACCO clients, helping eliminate manual bottlenecks. I also configured secure API endpoints to transfer data between disconnected systems.
At Chumz by Moneto, I engineered Python and SQL reporting pipelines for transactional data, reducing reporting times by 30%. I investigated data mapping errors and data drift, and implemented preventative validation rules.
For my X Money for Kenya fintech wallet prototype, I built a PostgreSQL double-entry ledger with safeguards against unbalanced entries and safe retries. I integrated M-PESA top-ups and built the project with FastAPI, Next.js, and Docker, with automated API and end-to-end tests in CI.
