I build reliable web systems, cloud-ready applications, and practical integrations that solve real business problems.
My work sits at the intersection of software development, DevOps, and financial/payment integrations, with strong experience in MERN applications, AWS services, CI/CD workflows, and APIs such as M-Pesa, Stripe, PayPal, and banking systems.

I enjoy building systems that are not only functional, but also maintainable, secure, and ready to scale. Whether I am working on a backend API, a payment integration, a deployment pipeline, or a full product feature, I focus on clarity, reliability, and long-term usability.
I am especially interested in projects where software needs to connect with real operations, payments, automation, compliance, or cloud infrastructure.
