Senior Software Engineer. Founded InstaEscrow, the M-Pesa escrow product for Kenya's social commerce market. Senior at SafeBoda. Previously at Bamboo (US investing for Africans) and Mindful Care (US healthcare). Eight years deep on Elixir, TypeScript, Go, and distributed systems.

I’m a software developer specializing in Elixir/Phoenix backend engineering with 7+ years of production experience building reliable, scalable systems for international remote teams and clients. Over the years, I’ve delivered Elixir/Phoenix projects across multiple domains, i.e, real estate, fintech/payment integrations, USSD/SMS platforms, and progressive web applications; often taking responsibility for architecture, background processing, and operational reliability. I work with Phoenix LiveView for interactive UIs when needed and design data layers using PostgreSQL. I also have hands-on experience with background job systems (Oban), test-driven development, and OTP-based designs that leverage supervisors and workers for resilient systems. While my primary strength is backend engineering, I’ve worked with frontend frameworks (Bulma, Materialize CSS, Bootstrap, Zurb Foundation, Tailwind), and I’m expanding my toolset into TypeScript / NestJS and React to increase market flexibility and full-stack capability. I’ve shipped production features as a contractor and team lead, translating client requirements into milestones, breaking work into user stories, running sprint planning, assigning tasks, and ensuring timely delivery. Core technical skills & practices - Languages / Frameworks: Elixir, Phoenix, Phoenix LiveView; learning TypeScript, NestJS, React - Background jobs / concurrency: Oban, OTP patterns (GenServer, Supervisors) - Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL (data modeling, performance tuning) - APIs & integrations: REST APIs, webhooks, payments/SMS integrations - Testing & quality: Test-Driven Development, unit & integration tests - Architecture / patterns: Domain-Driven Design, Event Sourcing & CQRS (familiarity & practical usage) - DevOps / CI: Docker, deployments, GitLab CI, Travis CI (pipeline-driven delivery) - Version control / collaboration: Git, GitHub, GitLab; remote team workflows, code reviews - Product & delivery: Sprint planning, breaking milestones into user stories, project documentation, stakeholder communication What I bring - A pragmatic, test-first approach to building maintainable systems - Experience designing resilient, asynchronous services (queues, retries, observability) - Leadership in small teams: mentoring, task breakdown, and client-facing technical communication - Remote-first collaboration: clear written updates, reliable delivery, and async-friendly practices I’m actively building a small public portfolio (Elixir microservice + a NestJS/React demo) to showcase architecture and implementation choices. I’m open to contract or remote roles where I can contribute backend expertise, help shape architecture, and mentor others while continuing to grow my full-stack skills. If you’d like to see examples of my work or discuss how I can help your project, I’m happy to share links and a short architecture summary.

If your backend is breaking, slow, or something just isn’t working the way it should, I can help you fix it quickly. I work with startups and businesses to solve backend problems like: Broken APIs and failing integrations Payment issues (Stripe, PayPal, M-Pesa) Buggy or unstable backend systems Connecting third-party services Getting apps ready for production I mainly work with Elixir and Node.js, and I’m comfortable jumping into existing codebases, even messy ones, and figuring things out fast. Most of the time, I end up: Fixing issues that other developers couldn’t resolve Cleaning up confusing or unfinished code Finishing integrations that are “almost working” but not quite there I move fast, communicate clearly, and focus on actually getting things working—not just explaining the problem.
