Hi, my name is
Builder — Founder
I build systems that think, adapt, and solve real problems.
My work spans AI agents, machine learning, and full-stack applications, with a focus on building reliable systems people can use and trust.
I've always been drawn to building things.
I started out as a civil engineer, working on physical infrastructure and seeing firsthand how systems shape people's everyday lives. Over time, I became increasingly interested in the digital side of problem-solving and transitioned into software engineering, where the ability to build and iterate quickly opened up an entirely new way of thinking.
Today, I focus on AI engineering: building agents, retrieval systems, and full-stack applications that help people work with complex information. I care as much about evaluating these systems and making them reliable as I do about getting them to work in the first place.
Building Uwazo, an AI assistant for legal and tax research, gave me a deeper appreciation for what it takes to create products people trust and rely on — beyond just the technical side.
I'm currently building Pelmio, a learning platform where AI helps teachers turn their own materials into interactive missions. Teachers shape and approve each activity, and learners explore, experiment, and explain their thinking.
AI systems, useful applications, and tools I've built along the way.
AI · Interactive learning
Turns lesson plans into interactive learning missions. AI drafts activities from teachers’ own materials, and teachers refine, preview, and approve each mission before assigning it.
Learners repair circuits, run simulations, weigh evidence, and solve maths problems. Their predictions, attempts, and explanations give teachers a view into how they think.
AI agents · Legal research
An AI research assistant for lawyers and tax professionals. Combines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), web search, and contextual memory to answer questions with supporting legal sources.
Document uploads and separate workspaces keep research tailored to each matter, from tax law and case law to business regulations.
Machine learning · Procurement
Helps auditors investigate possible fraud and conflicts of interest in Kenyan public procurement. Machine learning and relationship graphs flag unusual tenders and connections between companies, directors, and officials.
Explained risk scores support investigation, while a LangGraph agent grounds case analysis in evidence and Kenyan procurement law.
Machine learning · Engineering
Uses machine learning to estimate concrete strength from mix proportions. Engineers and technicians enter their mix parameters and get an immediate prediction to support planning ahead of laboratory testing.
Brings a trained prediction model into a practical web application for exploring concrete mix designs.
Content authenticity
Helps creators sign images with tamper-evident credentials, recording their source and history in the image metadata.
Users can verify signatures, inspect provenance information, and check for signs that an image has been altered.
Developer tooling · Open source
A command-line tool that sets up React inside Django with Webpack already configured. Add React to an existing project or scaffold a new one from scratch.
Includes options for TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, and is published on npm.
Dec 2025 — Apr 2026
Designed and deployed agentic AI workflows, RAG systems, and evaluation frameworks for enterprise financial platforms used by banks and SACCOs, with a strong focus on privacy, reliability, and production readiness.
2025 — Present
Built an AI research assistant combining retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), web search, and contextual memory to answer legal and tax questions with citations. Led product development from design through deployment.
2024 — Present
Developed and launched primary digital platforms for Kenya's largest pharmaceutical association and the Kenya Dental Association, including custom API integrations for certification tracking and events management at scale.
Jul 2022 — Oct 2024
Collaborated across teams to define requirements, shape solutions, and deliver infrastructure projects within scope and timeline.
