Journey
2024 — Present
Independent
Software Engineer
On my own now — building the infrastructure tools I wish had existed, and working with early-stage companies in East Africa who are solving problems the rest of the world hasn't noticed yet.

Andela
Senior Software Engineer
Rebuilt the backend of a matching platform that connected engineers across Africa with companies globally. The work was invisible in the best way — the kind of architecture that makes everything else faster without anyone knowing why.

2020 — 2022
Cellulant
Software Engineer
Built payment pipelines moving money across 18 African markets — through different currencies, regulations, and failure modes that don't show up in textbooks. Learned what reliability actually means when the infrastructure beneath you isn't guaranteed.
