I built Tenthlining, a legal-tech SaaS for Kenyan advocates that processes and formats appeal documents using OCR and PDF processing. It reached 1,200+ beta sign-ups and onboarded 12 paying clients; I also integrated M-Pesa payments and handled onboarding and customer support.

At MajiMIS Water Utility Management System, I designed and deployed a Django platform for customer accounts, meter readings, billing, arrears, receipts and SMS reminders. It’s live in production serving 300+ households, with 99.2% uptime and 45% month-over-month growth.

I developed AirRumi WiFi Billing System to automate hotspot billing, user metering and disconnections, with real-time M-Pesa payments. I also built SomaPro School Management System for student registration, fee management, class records, reporting and admin dashboards.

At Level Ten Limited, I architected and deployed Microsoft Dynamics 365 for a client, designing workflows that reduced manual processing by 60%. Earlier, as Consultant, System Support & Quality Analyst at the Ministry of Lands via SCAL Ltd, I supported data migration and led a five-person support team.
