Engineering Autonomous AI Agents with a founder's mindset.
Software Engineer turned AI Engineer. I design and deploy autonomous agents and automation systems that save businesses time and labor costs. From n8n workflows to custom builds using Python/TypeScript agent frameworks as well as Claude Code.
Building the future of intelligent systems
I'm an AI Engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya, specializing in AI-driven workflow automation, Agentic AI, full-stack development, and scalable system design. My career began in full-stack engineering before I transitioned into the world of intelligent systems.
Today I focus on building agentic AI — multi-step, tool-using systems that reason, plan, and act autonomously. I design LLM prompt architectures, orchestrate multi-agent workflows, and build the backend services that power them in production.
I care deeply about reliability: reducing hallucinations, enforcing grounding, and building fallback logic that keeps AI systems trustworthy under real-world conditions.

AI Engineer
Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪
Agentic AI Engineer
- ▸Design and optimize LLM prompts, agent instructions, and conversational flows for multi-step AI systems, improving response quality, grounding, and task reliability.
- ▸Build and refine agent orchestration workflows for chat and voice-style experiences, with emphasis on context continuity and structured state management.
- ▸Develop grounding enforcement, fact validation, and data arbitration systems that reduce hallucination risk and improve accuracy in production.
- ▸Build LLM-powered backend services and APIs for agent execution, routing, and session-driven interaction flows.
- ▸Improve AI system reliability through fallback logic, prompt guardrails, deterministic routing, and audit-friendly decision traces.
Automation & Operations Engineer
- ▸Architected and deployed end-to-end automation systems using n8n, Make, Zapier, and Google Workspace, eliminating repetitive manual workflows across operations, sales, and communications.
- ▸Designed intelligent email, calendar, and task management automations, reclaiming significant executive time through proactive scheduling and inbox triage.
- ▸Built workflow orchestration systems across Notion, ClickUp, and Asana enabling seamless coordination between engineering, operations, and leadership.
- ▸Implemented CRM automation pipelines to manage leads, track deal stages, enforce data integrity, and generate real-time performance insights.
- ▸Integrated AI-powered tools including LLMs, transcription, and summarization into daily workflows to accelerate documentation and decision-making.
Software Engineer Intern
- ▸Developed scalable Angular applications within an Nx Monorepo architecture using GraphQL, TailwindCSS, and PrimeNG.
- ▸Modernized legacy Angular codebases to align with modern best practices, improving maintainability and scalability.
- ▸Implemented Micro Front-End architectures using Native Federation and Module Federation.
- ▸Developed scalable backend solutions using Next.js API and Node.js, designing high-performance RESTful APIs with secure data handling and efficient database queries.
Full Stack Engineer
- ▸Engineered end-to-end web solutions for clients across hospitality, international corporations, and e-commerce using React, Django, Next.js, and WordPress.
- ▸Architected scalable, maintainable applications emphasizing clean code, modular design patterns, and software engineering best practices (SOLID, DRY).
- ▸Designed and implemented front-end and back-end components, ensuring seamless API integration, robust database architectures, and responsive user interfaces.
- ▸Collaborated directly with clients to gather requirements, translate business needs into technical specs, and deliver iterative solutions aligned with evolving goals.
