I build secure Android, React Native, and React platforms for fintech and real-time products.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
At Kifiya Technology, I lead Android development for a digital lending platform deployed across five major Ethiopian banks, facilitating over 300,000 loans. I also built a high-performance loan-management portal for field officers and tele-collectors.
I've delivered secure eKYC biometric enrollment software for Safaricom Plc, using Google MediaPipe for facial liveness detection and Kotlin, MVVM, Dagger Hilt, and Retrofit for a modular Android architecture. My work reduced estimated fraudulent registrations by 40% and created 20+ reusable components used across the application.
At VK Technology, I built real-time fleet telemetry dashboards and AI-powered mobile and web applications, including on-device facial segmentation and Generative AI image workflows. Previously, as the sole mobile engineer at Unravel Technologies, I took a React Native lifestyle app from MVP through a second production iteration with offline support, notifications, deep links, analytics, and Google Play releases.
I've also built offline-first mobile workflows, scalable social feeds, web platforms, backend APIs, and Android applications for education and public transportation. I enjoy making practical architecture decisions that balance security, performance, maintainability, and product delivery.
