Questions people ask before starting
Based in Nairobi, Kenya, serving Nairobi and surrounding areas (Kiambu, Kikuyu, Limuru, Ruaka, Westlands, Karen, Kilimani, Ruiru, Thika). Software and infrastructure work is delivered remotely or on-site depending on the project.
Both. His career direction targets senior engineering and technical leadership roles — senior/lead software engineering, platform, cloud, infrastructure and DevOps/SRE — and his services can be engaged fractionally for architecture, operations and technical oversight.
Yes — the services span software, IT infrastructure, AI automation, hardware and technical leadership, so the same person can own a system from the physical network to the application layer.
The first conversation is free. After that, small audit and automation work can start within a week; larger software and infrastructure projects get a scoped plan with clear timelines.
You have a technical problem. I may be able to solve it.
A free first conversation — tell me what's not working, what's slow, or what you're trying to build, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
