Mobile software engineer at ACRE Africa who built DigiBima Agent for farmer insurance registration, payments, and risk monitoring.

Kenya

Message

At ACRE Africa, I build and maintain mobile apps for agri-insure-tech, including DigiBima Agent, which helps insurance agents register farmers, sell policies, track payments, and monitor risk. I built it for Android with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, including offline storage, background sync, and M-Pesa STK push payments.

I co-founded The Tech Hut, a community creating opportunities for young people in Kenya, and built projects including Aisha, a WhatsApp sales assistant that turns chats into paid orders. My mobile work also includes Flutter apps and an iOS version of DigiBima Agent built with SwiftUI.
