Portrait of Joseph Gitonga

Joseph Gitonga

Software & AI Engineer, Systems Architect

Based in Nairobi, consulting globally

I'm the engineer you call when the AI demo has to become a product.

I also help small businesses automate WhatsApp, integrate AI, get online, and rescue broken sites.

A few clients at a time. No internal team required.

Currently

I take on a small number of engagements at a time. On /launch, I help small businesses with WhatsApp automation and shared-inbox CRM, online setups, website rescue, and separate AI integrations where useful. On /scale, I build custom workflow automation, AI products, fintech systems, and production software. Clients engage me directly or through Noria Technologies LTD, the practice I have run since 2020.

  • Workflow automation. Client onboarding, document pipelines, and intake systems for professional firms.
  • AI products. Customer-facing assistants and internal copilots that get used, not demoed.
  • Fintech systems. Payments, settlements, fraud detection, and risk infrastructure.
  • Website rescue and online setup. Emergency fixes, WhatsApp AI, and managed care for small businesses.
  • Senior engineering leadership for teams that don't yet have a head of engineering.
