KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At SaharaFCS, I lead technology, operations, finance, product, and customer relationships, managing a team of 12. I cut operating expenses by 50% through cost optimization and operational restructuring.
I set the ERP product and technology roadmap while staying hands-on: I build and maintain the ERP portal, design SQL Server databases, and manage Azure infrastructure. I also deliver Flutter and Firebase applications for the business.
Before SaharaFCS, I progressed from Junior Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer at Tovuti Group Ltd, shaping technical design and building API libraries. At Level Services, I built Flutter applications for external clients, taking projects from requirements gathering through delivery.
