What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level software, AI, or backend role.

At Snapp Africa, I built and shipped Finance Copilot end to end for the Kenyan market, covering its backend and React Native app. I also built a pipeline that reads and categorizes M-Pesa transactions from SMS in real time.

I added an AI chat assistant that answers questions about users’ spending histories and a custom-category feature with user-uploaded images. I’m a Computer Science graduate seeking an entry-level software, AI, or backend role.
