About
I build secure onchain systems and create pathways for others to do the same.
I'm proficient in Solidity, JavaScript, and Go, with experience building decentralized applications, designing smart contracts, and shipping production-grade blockchain infrastructure.
Currently, I'm a core builder at Topizzy, crypto-powered payment infrastructure that lets users pay for airtime and everyday services with stablecoins across African markets. Working on Topizzy has sharpened my focus on reliability, security, and designing blockchain systems that work in real-world conditions, not just testnets.
Beyond product development, I’m active in community leadership and serve as one of the leads in the Kisumu developer ecosystem. I organize and support meet-ups, workshops, and learning sessions focused on blockchain, smart contracts, and onchain development, helping developers at different stages grow their skills and confidence.
I’m motivated by the desire to see others empowered. Building systems that bridge gaps in knowledge, resources, and opportunity is a core driver of my work and daily inspiration.
