I’m a passionate and driven backend engineer with a strong foundation in Java and Spring Boot,
focused on building scalable, event-driven microservices and cloud-native applications.
A proud graduate of Masinde Muliro University with a Diploma in Information Technology,
I specialize in backend development, cloud computing (AWS), and web development.
I’ve built complete transport systems,
integrated production-level C2B M-Pesa payments,
developed dynamic React frontends,
and deployed full-stack applications using Docker, Amazon ECS Fargate, S3, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipelines.
I’m also an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner,
and continuously deepen my expertise in DevOps and cloud automation.
Beyond backend systems, I have a deep fascination with microprocessors like the 6502 and Raspberry Pi,
which fuel my curiosity about how technology works at the hardware level.
I’m also the founder of Riara Cloud Hub,
a company committed to delivering innovative machine learning and cloud-based solutions
for businesses in Africa and beyond.
Whether I’m exploring machine learning, writing clean Java code,
or wiring up end-to-end cloud infrastructure,
I’m always focused on solving real-world problems through thoughtful, impactful technology.
Combined with a passion for continuous learning, my qualifications extend beyond academia, encompassing hands-on projects and a commitment to staying at the forefront of industry trends.
