I help startups and small businesses fix, migrate, and optimize their AWS infrastructure, fast and affordably.
Recent AWS Project:
• Migrated a SQL-based application to AWS using EC2 and Amazon RDS/Aurora
• Implemented AWS networking best practices (VPC, Security Groups, IAM)
• Documented the architecture and validated data integrity after migration
What I can help you with:
• AWS EC2, VPC, IAM & security setup
• Database setup and migrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL)
• Docker-based application deployment
• CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
• AWS cost optimization and basic security audits
If you need reliable help with AWS setup, migration, or troubleshooting, feel free to message me. I respond quickly and can start immediately.

Need a developer who ships — not one who disappears?
I'm Allan, a full-stack developer and DevOps engineer based in Nairobi with 10+ years of experience building and deploying production software for organizations including Care International, UNHCR/FilmAid, Intel, Kenya Red Cross, and the Kenya Ministry of Health. I've delivered 50+ projects across healthcare, education, fintech, humanitarian, and enterprise — and I have references from Google, AWS, Mastercard, Dropbox, and Red Cross to back it up.
What I Build:
→ Full-stack web applications (Python/Django/Flask, Node.js/Express/React, PHP/Laravel)
→ AI-powered tools and LLM integrations (OpenAI, Claude/Anthropic, RAG systems, conversational AI)
→ Cloud infrastructure and DevOps pipelines (AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
→ Mobile payment integrations (M-Pesa, Stripe, payment gateways)
→ MVP prototypes — concept to deployed product in 2–3 weeks
→ IVR systems, SaaS platforms, monitoring dashboards, and data pipelines
What Sets Me Apart:
✅ I ship fast. I won the Dropbox/HelloSign hackathon by building an AI-powered contract generator in under 72 hours. I bring that same urgency to every client project.
✅ I've built for real-world impact. My IVR system serves thousands of refugees in Kakuma Camp through UNHCR. My M&E platform tracks humanitarian outcomes across Somalia for Care International. These aren't toy projects — they're production systems people depend on.
✅ I think like a product manager, not just a coder. With product management skills in user research, wireframing, data analytics, and stakeholder communication, I don't just write code — I help you build the right thing. I'll challenge your assumptions, suggest better approaches, and make sure what we build actually solves the problem.
✅ I handle the full stack and the infrastructure. Frontend, backend, database, cloud deployment, CI/CD, monitoring — I deliver the complete package. No need to hire three people when one can do it all.
✅ I communicate clearly and consistently. You'll get regular updates, clean documentation, and zero surprises. I've worked with international teams across time zones (US, Europe, East Africa) and I understand that trust is built through transparency.
Recent Highlights:
• Built AI-powered platforms integrating OpenAI and Anthropic APIs for automated content generation and intelligent learning systems
• Developed M-Pesa-integrated SaaS platforms serving the East African market
• Delivered cloud-native applications on AWS and Azure with full DevOps pipelines (Docker, CI/CD, Terraform)
• Multiple international hackathon finalist and winner
Education: BSc Computer Technology — JKUAT (Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology)
