What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end production systems for data & AI—especially in fragmented or low-connectivity environments—building reliable pipelines, automation, and operational tooling that teams can run confidently.

I’m a software engineer and founder with 3+ years building and deploying production systems across data infrastructure, AI operations, and consumer platforms. I specialize in owning full-stack architecture—from database schema to containerized deployment and ongoing production operations.

At Imhotep Systems, I’m building production-grade operational tooling for fragmented-data, low-connectivity environments. I designed infrastructure primitives including the Document Intelligence Layer (DIL), Real-Time Engagement Orchestration Layer (REOL), and Scheduled Execution Layer (SEL), and I architected Klinik to support Rwanda’s Law N026/2025 healthcare interoperability mandate.

I also build AI operations tooling integrating Claude and GPT APIs into structured evaluation pipelines, and I automate operational workflows using n8n to replace manual processes. From shipping a container troubleshooting open-source CLI (“docker-compose-doctor”) to piloting Catalyst for offline-first reliability, I focus on turning constraints into dependable systems.
