What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote and relocation opportunities where I can build secure mobile and fintech products, contribute across design, testing, integration, and delivery, and continue growing as an engineer.

I'm building and testing production fintech features for the Equity Mobile App at Equity Bank, using Kotlin, coroutines, dependency injection, Java, and the Huawei SDK for secure payment and transaction flows.

Previously at E&M Technology House, I built a Kotlin Android Electronic Tax Register with product and user management, invoicing, authentication, file downloads, and Daraja API payment integration through a Spring Boot service.

I've also built Flutter ground-station systems for rocket development and automated cabinet management systems integrating JavaScript, Python, MySQL, MQTT, ESP32 hardware, Docker, and Linux automation.
