I build production software across banking, fintech, utilities, logistics, and media using Go, Node.js, and modern web stacks.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently building banking applications at Equity Bank, where I led Angular state-management refactors to NgRx and simplified the Minor Account Opening flow across Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda.
At HydroIQ, I led developers and architecture decisions while building a SaaS platform integrated with IoT APIs. I delivered real-time monitoring for thousands of meters in Guatemala and Kenya, reduced customer support calls by 20%, and improved CI/CD to reduce production bugs by about 70%.
I've also delivered full-stack products at MobiFi, Boya, Apps:Lab, and Symatech Labs, spanning database migrations, cloud infrastructure, API development, e-commerce, and Web3 payments. I'm open to remote roles and can work flexibly across GMT+3 overlap hours.
