What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cross-functional teams building retail-tech products that combine reliable software delivery with data-driven growth—especially where I can apply DevOps, analytics, and digital marketing to deliver measurable business outcomes.

I’m a dynamic, results-driven leader with expertise in information technology and marketing, focused on delivering “customer-focused software solutions” that improve operational efficiency and profitability. As a strategic innovator, I bridge technical and retail/commercial domains to design and implement cutting-edge IT strategies alongside impactful marketing campaigns.

At The Foundry Group, I pioneered initiatives that integrated “Nyeri data analytics into retail operations,” optimizing inventory management and increasing profit margins by 15% across key product lines. I’ve also spearheaded strategy and market expansion, driving a 30% increase in market reach through innovative product offerings and partnerships within two years.

In my engineering work, I architected and managed platforms that achieved 99.9% uptime and grew customer engagement by 40%, with a 20% increase in online transactions within the first year. I’ve streamlined development and deployment with DevOps and CI/CD practices (reducing software release cycles by 30%), led mobile and ecommerce solutions for iOS/Android with secure payment gateways, and improved reliability, uptime, and performance through automation, monitoring, and agile delivery.
