Build. Automate. Scale.
I'm the engineer you call when the AI demo has to become a product.
The software your business runs on: the parts customers touch, the parts they never see, and the AI in between. I build it, automate what is still done by hand, and keep it standing once it is live.
Based in Nairobi. Working with teams across East Africa, Europe and the US.

Build the thing that does not exist yet.
A business that customers can actually find and pay. A product that has to ship. The system you should have had two years ago.
Nothing exists yet, or what exists is a prototype.AutomateThe work your team does by hand, done by software.
Customer questions at 11pm. The same data retyped between two systems. Onboarding that is really a checklist in somebody's head.
It works, but a person is doing it over and over.ScaleIt exists. Now it has to hold.
Reliability, cost, and the senior judgement that stops a system becoming the thing that has to be replaced.
It is live, and something about it is not safe to leave alone.The person who scopes your work is the person who builds it. Clients engage me directly or through Noria Technologies LTD, the practice I have run since 2020.
The notes cover the decisions founders hit before they hire anyone: what AI actually costs per user, what to automate first, and why an AI-built app is a prototype until production proves otherwise.
