I build backend systems, API integrations, and AI-powered automations that solve real operational problems: Python/Django development, third-party API integrations (Stripe, OpenAI, Twilio), and workflow automation using n8n and Make. What I've delivered: - Payment & API integrations - migrated a production Stripe integration from the Sources API to Payment Intents API with zero downtime. Built and refined Stripe transaction and accounting workflows for clients. - AI-powered communication systems - integrated OpenAI's GPT-4o Assistant API with WhatsApp via Twilio Studio. Built a ChatGPT-powered WhatsApp bot that reads live data from Google Sheets to handle customer interactions automatically. - Backend & automation development - built and maintained Python/Django systems including authentication flows, PDF generation via Django templating, and custom scripts connecting to MySQL databases. - Workflow automation - designed automations with n8n, Make, and Zapier to connect CRMs, messaging tools, and internal systems, cutting out manual data entry and repetitive tasks. Core stack: Python, Django, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, REST APIs, OpenAI API, Twilio, Stripe API, n8n, Make, Zapier. I work best with businesses that need to connect existing tools, automate a specific manual process, or add AI (chat, voice, or data handling) into a system they already run, rather than a from-scratch platform build. If that's what you're dealing with, message me with the details of the workflow or integration and I'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.

I build backend systems that hold up under real load: APIs, async pipelines, data systems, and increasingly AI-enabled features, using Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Celery, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Docker, and AWS. Recent work has focused on helping teams add AI/LLM capabilities to real backend systems, not fragile demos: multi-provider orchestration across leading LLM providers, cost-aware model routing, fallback handling, LlamaIndex-based RAG pipelines, pgvector for vector storage, and self-hosted deployment (Ollama, OpenWebUI) where privacy or predictable inference cost matters more than convenience. The main ways I can help: Python Backend and API development I build and improve Django, Django REST Framework, and FastAPI backends: REST APIs, database models, background workers, admin workflows, authentication flows, reporting features, third-party integrations, and deployment-ready services. AI/LLM Backend integration I help you add AI features to an existing product in a maintainable way — multi-provider orchestration, RAG-style retrieval, embeddings workflows, and prompt-driven features built with the same rigor as the rest of your backend. Data pipelines and search systems I've worked on distributed ingestion and indexing systems using Python, RabbitMQ, Celery, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, and PostgreSQL — systems that collect, validate, process, and index large volumes of content, analytics, or sensor data. Backend reliability and debugging I help teams make systems easier to operate: logging, metrics, traces, CI/CD, Docker-based deployments, AWS infrastructure, database performance, worker reliability, and production debugging. Past work includes AI-powered SaaS reporting backends, a distributed news ingestion system, an internal domain-quality review tool, geospatial civic-tech platforms, cross-border payment integrations, and multi-node Elasticsearch infrastructure. I work best with clients who want clear technical judgment, honest scoping, async-friendly communication, and backend work that another engineer can maintain after delivery. Based in Nairobi (GMT+3) — full-day overlap with EU/UK clients, workable afternoon overlap with US East Coast.
