I build the Python backends, data pipelines and AWS infrastructure behind telecom and connectivity platforms.
Nairobi, Kenya
> ABOUT ME
Backend and cloud engineer in Nairobi, Kenya. I build the systems behind telecom and connectivity businesses: Python APIs, data pipelines, and AWS infrastructure automated with Terraform.
Currently a Software Associate at Jamii Telecommunications Ltd (JTL), working on software solutions and cloud infrastructure. Building and maintaining backend systems, APIs, and deployment pipelines that support enterprise-level telecommunications operations.
I work best with teams that need reliable backends and repeatable infrastructure, and I am open to roles and projects in telecom, ISP and cloud platform engineering.
Education
The Catholic University of Eastern Africa
Headed the Department of Computer and Information Science. Coordinated tech events and coding workshops.
> HOW I CAN HELP
Terraform-managed AWS environments with CI/CD pipelines, so deployments are repeatable and every environment stays consistent.
Python backends and REST APIs on PostgreSQL, built to stay fast and maintainable as the product and the team grow.
ETL pipelines in Python that are safe to re-run, validate their input and tell you when something looks wrong.
Dashboards and alerting that track uptime, latency and throughput across infrastructure nodes.
> PROJECTS
Automated cloud provisioning and deployment pipelines using Terraform and CI/CD. Reduced deployment time and improved infrastructure consistency across environments.
Scalable data ingestion and processing framework built with Python. Handles ETL workflows, data validation, and automated reporting for enterprise systems.
Modern portfolio and project showcase platform. Built from scratch with a focus on performance, accessibility, and clean design.
Real-time network monitoring dashboard tracking uptime, latency, and throughput across infrastructure nodes. Alerting system for anomaly detection.
Reusable CI/CD pipeline templates and automation scripts for streamlined development workflows. Supports multiple cloud providers and deployment targets.
