Senior Full-Stack Engineer building AI-augmented mission-critical SaaS with Node.js and Vue.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team building mission-critical SaaS where I can combine Node.js/Vue 3 with OpenAI-powered RAG, ship faster with AI tooling, and own integrations like M-Pesa and ERP connectivity.

I’m a Senior AI-Augmented Full-Stack Engineer with 14+ years specializing in Node.js and Vue.js 3 for mission-critical SaaS. I bring rare expertise in M-Pesa API integrations, ERP connectivity (PHC/Primavera), and hardware bridging for Android POS using Bluetooth/USB printers.

I ship robust solutions faster using Cursor AI and LLMs (RAG/Prompt Engineering), including RAG-based systems that automated 80% of customer support workflows. I’ve built a water management platform serving 10k+ users with 99.8% uptime, and I’ve led modernization to Node.js/Vue 3 improving performance by 300% and reducing production bugs by 90%.
