What I'm looking for

I want to build scalable web apps and AI/ML-powered systems—owning ETL pipelines, REST APIs, and deployments—while partnering to deliver reliable products and continuous improvements.

I’m a full stack engineer experienced in Web Development, Data Engineering, and AI systems development. I design and implement cloud-ready solutions, REST APIs, and machine learning models that help teams forecast, predict, and make data-driven decisions.

In my work, I focus on end-to-end delivery—building scalable web applications and supporting them with ETL pipelines. I’ve also built an AI-powered climate and weather prediction system for Kenya to forecast weather patterns and climate trends, and I develop modern, production-oriented integrations.

As a Full Stack Developer at Nimbus Innovations, I work across the stack while owning the details that make systems reliable and useful for customers. I’ve developed and launched a SaaS platform for centralized client engagement, inquiry management, and digital service delivery.

My professional ethos is practical engineering: shipping real functionality, maintaining systems, and improving operational outcomes. Whether it’s updating data pipelines, managing backend systems, or supporting users through technical support, I aim to deliver solutions that drive business growth and innovation.
