What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote roles in tech operations and AI-enabled digital work—using Google Cloud, Vertex AI, and responsible generative AI to build tools, automate workflows, and turn dashboards and research into measurable results.

I’m an AI-fluent technology professional and digital entrepreneur with hands-on experience using Google Cloud AI, generative AI tools, and prompt engineering. I combine technical self-sufficiency with real-world execution to deliver practical outcomes in digital operations and AI-assisted workflows.

I own and operate a cyber café where I work daily with technology, digital tools, and AI-enabled support for customers. I also actively apply Google Cloud and AI approaches to improve service delivery while staying current through ongoing Google Generative AI learning on Skills Boost.

I’m also the founder of LocUnive Rentals, a property listing platform I built with Firebase and Netlify, including M-Pesa payments, multi-channel landlord dashboards, and real-time tenant authentication. Beyond product building, I’ve led digital reporting, KPI tracking, and data analytics across geographically distributed operations and improved operational efficiency through automation and process improvement.
