Software Engineer
Software engineer driving event-driven systems, microservices, and responsible AI integration across healthcare, insurance and civic tech platforms. Building scalable solutions that create measurable impact.
About
Backend Engineer & Platform Architect building scalable, resilient systems that serve thousands of users. I design event-driven microservices, reliable APIs, secure authentication, and robust deployment pipelines, with versioning and migration strategies that ensure stability and growth.
Delivering production-grade impact through fault-tolerant systems, observability (metrics, logs, traces), SLO-driven reliability, and high-throughput performance. My work focuses on creating platforms that scale seamlessly and maintain consistent performance under complex workloads.
Mentoring & advancing responsible AI by integrating ML safely into production systems, leading architecture reviews, and fostering engineering excellence through structured code reviews and knowledge sharing.

Intelligent Platform Autoscaling
AI-driven autoscaling and monitoring platform for microservices and Kubernetes deployments. Uses reinforcement learning to optimize resource allocation, self-heal failing deployments, and reduce operational costs while maintaining SLOs.
Predictive/Reactive scaling
Career
2025 - Present
Technical strategy for backend and platform services across multiple products. Led architecture reviews and RFCs for microservices design, established API standards and authentication frameworks, implemented observability stack with SLOs and alerting. Built shared libraries for common patterns, instituted on-call practices with runbooks, and drove CI/CD adoption with infrastructure-as-code. Mentored engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and growth planning while delivering brown-bag sessions on Kafka, resilience patterns, and security best practices.
2024
Contributed to Mulika, a real-time service monitoring platform used by banks and enterprises to track application and transaction performance. Developed backend modules for KPI aggregation, alerts via SMS/email/web, and dashboard visualizations. Implemented monitoring for queues, APIs, and transaction processing, ensuring reliability, observability, and security. Participated in mentoring programs through Natujenge, supporting junior engineers through code reviews and structured guidance.
