I build high-volume banking, payments, and logistics platforms across frontend and backend systems.

I've built and maintained high-transaction platforms for Equity Group Holdings, Co-operative Bank of Kenya, Safaricom, Sendy, and client teams at Cuco Coding.

At Equity Group Holdings, I develop international money-transfer features for Western Union, MoneyGram, and PayPal, integrate insurance and money-movement APIs, and resolve production issues across UI and backend services.

I led frontend and middleware teams for Co-operative Bank's digital banking platform, where I introduced Jenkins and Docker CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployments from weeks to days and standardized testing protocols that reduced production bugs by 80%.

Across logistics, banking, and product projects, I've made architecture decisions, improved testing and code-review practices, mentored engineers, and built products including HostLedger, RentLogger, Job Matcher, and Tunafund.
