What I'm looking for

I am seeking a technical leadership role where I can drive ERP/ERPNext architecture, lead cross-functional teams, implement DevOps best practices, and deliver scalable integrations while mentoring developers and enabling digital transformation.

I am a Software Developer and Business Support Systems (BSS) Lead with over four years of hands-on experience building and scaling Frappe/ERPNext solutions across finance, supply chain, retail, and logistics. I lead cross-functional teams, architect enterprise integrations, implement DevOps practices, and manage cloud and on-premise infrastructure to deliver secure, high-performance, and maintainable systems.

I have delivered M-Pesa integrations, IoT and sensor dashboards, eTIMS-certified modules, and ERPNext customizations for clients including Victory Farms, Amref, Waterstarters, and Project Maji. I am passionate about automation, continuous improvement, mentoring developers, and translating complex business requirements into robust technical solutions.
