Software Engineer | Data Engineer
About Me
I am a data and software engineer with over two years of professional experience building practical, production-ready systems across fintech, B2B logistics, and the non-profit sector. My work has focused on delivering end-to-end solutions, from data infrastructure and ETL pipelines to full-stack applications and developer-facing platforms.
I have strong experience in event-driven data engineering, including AWS-based pipelines, dbt transformations, Apache Airflow orchestration, and reconciliation logic in Redshift. I enjoy solving complex data problems, improving reliability, and turning recurring operational issues into scalable engineering fixes.
On the software side, I have built APIs, mobile applications, and web platforms using technologies such as Node.js, Vue.js, React.js, Next.js, React Native, Kotlin, FastAPI, and Django REST Framework. I have contributed to products that improved integration speed, user engagement, platform uptime, and overall system performance.
I also have experience in technical support and production incident management, where I handled root-cause analysis, monitoring, verification, and cross-functional coordination. I am comfortable working across application, infrastructure, and service-integration layers to identify issues and deliver permanent fixes.
My project work includes an AI-powered recruitment intelligence system and a multi-vendor e-commerce platform, both of which reflect my interest in building useful products that combine software engineering, data processing, and user-centered design. I value ownership, clarity, and iterative improvement in every stage of development.
I hold a Diploma in Information Technology from AkiraChix - codeHive, with coursework spanning backend development, software architecture, frontend development, product management, QA, UI/UX design, and UX research. I am based in Kenya and speak English.

Experience
Owned end-to-end incident management across payment, billing, authentication, reconciliation, and reporting systems. Resolved critical production incidents within SLA windows, performed technical investigations across application and infrastructure layers, transformed recurring support patterns into engineering improvements, and partnered with cross-functional teams on issue queues and engineering handoffs.
Built an event-driven ETL pipeline from S3 to Lambda to Redshift, designed SQL/dbt transformation and matching logic for reconciliation, authored root cause analyses for unmatched transactions, maintained Apache Airflow and AWS Step Functions workflows, and delivered full-stack features in Vue.js, TypeScript, and Node.js.
Built the developer portal from the ground up, developed a cross-platform mobile application in React Native, built and optimized server-rendered features using Next.js and React, and contributed to architecture improvements focused on reliability and scalability for B2B logistics operations.
Introduced and built the organization's first website end-to-end, designed and delivered a React/Redux single-page application, ensured responsiveness and cross-device performance, and helped expand the organization's digital outreach.
