“Build systems that survive contact with reality.” - David Clinton

Mombasa County, Kenya

  • Architected an operations platform for Warehouse Management, After-Sales, and Attendance/HR using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, React/Next.js dashboards, and native Android apps, giving operations teams one place to run daily workflows.
  • Developed role-based warehouse mobile flows for Picker, Mantrap, and Admin users using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3, Navigation Compose, Hilt, Retrofit/OkHttp, and DataStore to enforce barcode/serial scan policies, mismatch handling, and completion checks.
  • Integrated handheld scanner workflows using Honeywell APIs, CameraX, ML Kit barcode scanning, and Firebase Cloud Messaging to improve scan reliability, push navigation, and warehouse-floor task visibility.
  • Built React/Next.js and Angular dashboard surfaces using TypeScript, TanStack Query patterns, reusable UI components, and API-driven state management to support warehouse, service, and administrative workflows.
  • Integrated SAP Business One Service Layer, SAP HANA, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis to synchronize inventory, warranty, service, and reporting data across operational systems.
  • Improved production reliability using Alembic migrations, deployment automation, PM2, Nginx/UFW hardening, request tracing, Redis caching, health checks, and runbooks to reduce deployment drift and speed up debugging.
