What I'm looking for

I'm particularly interested in state management, coordination, synchronization, execution systems, resilience, security, and designing dependable software as systems evolve.

At Zone01 Kisumu, I develop backend services and REST APIs in Go through an intensive, project-based software engineering environment. I apply modular architecture, testing, Git workflows, and containerized development across engineering projects.

I'm building Project Arbiter, a platform for observing real blockchain activity and analyzing market state, execution conditions, and transaction outcomes. Its design accounts for chain-specific execution, capital requirements, finality, and settlement.

I'm also building MeshGuard, an open-source coordination platform for resilient Bitcoin infrastructure, and engineering ZoneBridge V2, a modular Go platform for the Zone01 Kisumu community. My project work also explores secure backend architecture and resilient merchant settlement when connectivity is unreliable.
