8 years building and shipping backend systems and full-stack products, mostly solo or in small remote teams. I like owning things end to end, from infra to the API to the parts of the frontend that touch it.
Most recent project: https://myfinance.cc, a personal finance SaaS that parses M-Pesa and bank PDF statements. Transaction categorization runs on a Random Forest classifier (TF-IDF + temporal features, ~95% accuracy on live data); spend forecasting uses a per-user RF regressor with 31 engineered features; anomaly detection via Z-scores.
Also built https://watchdock.cc, an observability platform (error tracking with SHA-256 dedup, uptime/SSL monitoring, container health, an AI-generated daily ops summary posted to Slack). I also maintain a few async-first PyPI packages (kenyan-counties, daraja-sdk).
More projects and code on my site. Happy to talk about any of it.
