I've built core fintech systems at Fingo Africa, including a double-entry ledger for a USDT and fiat neobank, on-chain settlement flows, and a trading backend integrated with Alpaca Securities.

I developed device fingerprinting that achieved 99% identification accuracy and reduced fraud by 70%, and built KYC redundancy that reduced failures from 45% to less than 10%. I've also engineered Money Market Fund workflows for daily transactions, monitoring, validation, and monthly interest crediting.

At Eventratech Technologies, I architected a multi-tenant enterprise event platform for Safaricom and EXP Momentum, supporting registration, NFC/RFID badges, access control, hybrid events, and real-time analytics.

I enjoy building contract-first microservices, reliable payment pipelines, data services, and production systems across Go, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, and DigitalOcean. My work also includes data-protection engineering, cloud video-on-demand architecture, adaptive streaming, and Python-based machine learning for precision agriculture.
