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

Mombasa County, Kenya

  • Architected and delivered an operations platform spanning Warehouse Management, After-Sales, and Attendance/HR workflows across a FastAPI backend and multiple Next.js dashboards, giving teams a single operational system.
  • Built core warehouse business flows (inbound/outbound, transfers, investigations, and SAP document posting), improving inventory control accuracy and reducing manual reconciliation.
  • Integrated SAP Business One Service Layer, SAP HANA, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis to enable cross-system synchronization and faster operational reporting for decision-making.
  • Implemented role-based warehouse mobile workflows (Picker, Mantrap, Admin) with scan-policy enforcement (barcode/serial rules), mismatch handling, and completion controls to reduce fulfillment errors.
  • Developed resilient scan execution with queue/batch submission, offline-tolerant local persistence, and handheld scanner integration (Honeywell APIs), improving throughput and reliability on the warehouse floor.
  • Strengthened platform reliability and security through deployment automation, Alembic-integrated migrations, PM2 environment standardization, and Nginx/UFW hardening, reducing deployment risk and production drift.
  • Added observability and performance controls (request tracing, dependency timing, structured logs, Redis caching) to isolate bottlenecks quickly and improve response times on high-read endpoints.
  • Owned end-to-end production operations on Linux (builds, process supervision, env rollouts, health checks, and runbooks), improving service continuity and handover readiness.

Tel Aviv District, Israel

  • Executed a database migration strategy moving critical financial data from SAP HANA to PostgreSQL with zero data loss.
  • Optimized internal payment modules to handle high-volume transactions (10,000+ records) efficiently.
  • Collaborated on deployment pipelines for payment systems, ensuring security compliance and accessibility.
  • Automated donor engagement workflows by integrating AI-driven APIs into existing CRM infrastructure.

Nairobi County, Kenya

  • Bridged data systems with lightweight automation workflows, reducing manual data entry for investment operations.

  • Integrated third-party financial APIs, ensuring reliable data processing and error handling for investor dashboards.
  • Collaborated with backend teams to define API contracts and optimize data delivery for high-net-worth client interfaces.

New York, United States

  • Documented infrastructure best practices for deep learning with a focus on GPU optimization and Linux environments.
  • Published technical guides on GPU benchmarking and mixed-precision training for practical developer adoption.
  • Developed sample ML workflows demonstrating PyTorch integration with cloud-based GPU instances.
  • Translated complex Generative AI concepts into implementation-focused guidance for the developer community.
