What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead architecture and delivery of scalable, user-focused systems, mentor engineers, and work in an agile, growth-oriented environment.

I am a software engineer with experience building scalable systems and delivering customer-facing products at Safaricom, including a Coaching Portal, Bill Manager v2 and a Digital Identity MVP serving over 1M users. I lead technical design, mentor engineers, and translate business requirements into robust technical solutions while participating actively in Agile practices.

My background combines a BSc in Mathematics & Computer Science with hands-on work in cloud, containerization, and messaging systems. I prioritize clean code, strong architecture and continuous improvement, and I enjoy driving product features from design through production and on-call support.
