Software engineer from Nairobi focused on backend development, AI integration, and building APIs that power real products.
I'm a backend-focused software engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya with hands-on experience building RESTful APIs, AI agent modules, and reliable backend systems.
I've worked across multiple internships: building API endpoints at GOYA, shipping an AI agent with Ollama at Nexa Radiant Lab, and handling WordPress and API integrations at Benolives. I also served as a Learning Ambassador at ALX Africa.
I hold a BSc in Information Technology from KCA University and completed ALX Africa's Software Engineering program (Backend Specialization). Always learning, always building.
My professional journey building real-world software.
Developed RESTful API endpoints for cross-system communication, enhancing data exchange efficiency. Debugged and optimized backend logic for improved performance, and collaborated with cross-functional teams on API integration and testing.
Built an AI agent module using Python integrated with the Ollama API, improving content validation efficiency. Wrote robust unit tests reducing post-deployment bugs, and implemented logging and error handling to enhance system reliability.
Handled WordPress site migrations across hosting environments with minimal downtime. Debugged plugin conflicts, theme errors, and SMTP issues. Integrated APIs for email and payment services, and documented technical solutions for the team.
Guided peers through technical assignments and course materials, and boosted engagement through group discussions and interactive learning activities within the ALX community.
