I taught myself to code from YouTube tutorials in high school. At 16, during the COVID lockdown, I co-founded Jobzy with Matt Magera, a friend from Mang'u, on about $15 and a domain name. I ran it as CTO for five years and built most of it myself: a gig marketplace, an AI recruitment product (Talanta), the backend behind both, and a mobile app. It grew past 20,000 engagements across 16 service categories and won Startup of the Year at the 2023 East Africa Awards.

I started a Computer Science degree at the University of Nairobi and left at 20, partly because a lecturer told me I'd done too much on a class project. I took the hint. Around the same time I'd been building a refugee-support tool with the ILO for the Dadaab and Kakuma camps; when the funding behind it was cut, the project wound down, and I joined GitLaw a few months later.

These days my work sits between product engineering and applied AI. At Priority Soft I'm the only engineer on a US healthcare-compliance platform that generates IRS ACA forms. At GitLaw I build the legal-companion workflow: billing, free e-signatures, a lawyer-vetted template community, and file management. Underneath, both jobs are the same puzzle: take a regulated, high-stakes domain and make it feel simple and worth trusting.

At Priority Soft (2026–present), I am the sole engineer building an ACA (Affordable Care Act) compliance platform for a US tax resolution practice. The platform handles IRS Form 1094-C/1095-C generation, employee coverage tracking, payroll data parsing, and form validation, with plans to become a commercial SaaS product. Built as a Turborepo monorepo with Next.js 16, React 19, Drizzle + PostgreSQL, BullMQ + Redis workers, and Railway deployment.

At GitLaw (2025–present), I own core workflow surfaces that let users draft, review, sign, and store legal documents in one place: billing (checkout, subscription management, organization billing), community templates (public library with SEO), free e-signatures (signing workflows, recipients, delivery), and file management (search, version history, metadata, forking). The stack includes Next.js, React, TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and Stripe.

At Eckeka (2025–present, part-time), I lead technical product development for a packaging risk intelligence MVP: a typed recyclability & circularity scoring engine, Supabase with Row Level Security, structured AI report generation with gpt-4o, and EPR compliance tracking.

Previously, I co-founded Jobzy (2020–2025) and served as CTO, building the entire stack: a service marketplace, Africa-focused recruitment and employee verification platform, Node.js/TypeScript backend, and a cross-platform mobile app with React Native/Expo.

Currently building Atlasium, an early-stage AI-native developer tooling startup (pre-product).
