"Turning technical ambition into operational reality."
I am a Technical Lead specializing in the deployment of frontier technology across emerging markets. My career arc spans the transition from hardware: launching East Africa’s first electric vehicle (the Kiira EV) to architecting digital infrastructure for climate science and regional banking.
With a First Class Honours in Actuarial Science, I combine mathematical rigor with product grit to manage roadmaps; I build the feasibility frameworks and structural PRDs that allow engineering teams to scale complex systems safely.
