What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build practical, maintainable backend, blockchain, infrastructure, and developer-tooling systems, contributing independently across development, deployment, debugging, and evolving technical requirements.

I've built and maintained blockchain tooling, SDKs, Dockerized nodes, smart-contract integrations, and developer utilities, with open-source work across 268 public GitHub repositories and approximately 1.8k stars.

As an independent software developer and IT contractor, I develop, deploy, and troubleshoot web applications, backend services, APIs, integrations, automation tooling, and Linux environments. I've also contributed production software remotely at Viewfin and supported business systems, networks, applications, and users at Bonto and LipaLater.

My work spans TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Go, Rust, Solidity, SQL, Docker, and Linux, with particular depth in Ethereum-compatible systems, Bitgesell tooling, and practical developer infrastructure. I'm also researching equitable AI governance adoption in Kenya, including explainable AI, machine learning, and responsible technology adoption.
