What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to real-world backend systems, solve meaningful engineering problems, and grow across modern backend and full-stack technologies through collaborative development, peer feedback, and challenging projects.

I'm building production-style backend applications in Go, from an AI-assisted Business OS for SMEs to financial systems and real-time social platforms.

At Zone01 Kisumu, I design RESTful APIs, model PostgreSQL and SQLite databases, implement authentication and authorization, and containerize services with Docker. My projects include secure cookie-based sessions, WebSocket messaging, database migrations, ACID transactions, and integrations with third-party APIs.

I collaborate through Git workflows, peer reviews, pair programming, and project audits while applying Clean Architecture and modular software design.

Before software engineering, I supported warehouse operations at Jumbo Steel Mills Ltd by maintaining inventory records, reconciling stock, and resolving discrepancies. My Actuarial Science background strengthened my analytical approach to financial and data-driven systems.
