Software Engineer at CodeYetu who integrated M-Pesa payments and cut response times by 40% with Redis caching.

Message

At CodeYetu, I lead engineering and technical operations across two production platforms. I work on backend services and REST APIs, and handle CI/CD, Docker-based deployments, infrastructure, monitoring, and production troubleshooting.

I integrated M-Pesa Daraja payment flows, including STK Push, transaction verification, C2B/B2C workflows, and webhooks. I also implemented Redis caching that reduced response times by 40% for high-traffic workflows.

As an IT Apprentice at iServe Africa / Church Army Africa, I designed and deployed an Academic Records & Transcript Automation System and an IT Helpdesk & Resource Management System. The academic platform automates results processing, GPA computation, transcript generation, and digital verification.

At JHUB Africa, I led the architecture of a real-time IoT platform connecting sensors and microcontrollers to a Django backend using MQTT. I also built CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment time by 40%.
