Eric Mukiri
@ericmukiri
Finance and operations executive blending IFRS controllership with AI-driven fintech and crypto operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a finance and operations executive with 15+ years bridging traditional controllership and high-volume Web3 operations, skilled at IFRS compliance, liquidity engineering, and recovery of stalled capital. I lead AI-augmented automation projects—prototyping production software rapidly with Python, SQL, Playwright and vibe coding—to reduce manual work and prevent operational losses.
My career spans treasury and float financing, regulatory liaison with KRA, high-volume transaction auditing, procurement for international organizations, and hospitality operations as an Airbnb Superhost. I deliver measurable impact: recovered $200,000+ in receivables, ensured 100% audit pass rates, maintained a 4.74/5.0 Airbnb rating, and built surveillance bots that prevent ~$15k/month in arbitrage losses.
