SOFTWARE ENGINEER — NAIROBI, KENYA
AI Systems & Automation
I build dependable web applications and AI workflows for complex, real-world operations—from tool-using agents to financial systems and location-aware products.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK01 — 04
Based in Nairobi, I work across product engineering and applied AI. I turn manual, error-prone processes into dependable software—from digitizing financial records and building tool-using agent workflows to making rental search more useful with image and location data.
