What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable, product-focused systems (web3, fintech, gaming), collaborate with cross-functional teams, and continue shipping impactful products while contributing to open-source.

I am a full-stack engineer with 7+ years building web3, fintech, and gaming platforms, combining frontend and backend expertise to deliver production-ready products. I founded Artemis Systems and led product development and daily operations for AI-powered tools that helped micro-enterprises scale.

At Sweep Games I built frontend and backend components and integrated core web3 features for a predictions market; at Matrix I developed backend systems and APIs connecting gaming and social platforms. I also shipped consumer-facing apps at Beannsofts and completed freelance projects that strengthened my remote development skills.

I maintain several open-source developer tools (including an M-Pesa SDK) and continuously build side projects that solve real business problems. I prioritize pragmatic engineering, collaboration with cross-functional teams, and shipping value quickly.
