About

I am a transformative tech professional with 8+ years of software development experience, who has evolved from Software Engineer to CTO to CEO of Niftecs, delivering cutting-edge solutions across government, corporate, and NGO sectors. This includes the design, development, and deployment of Kisii County’s Electronic Liquor Licensing System and Lands Information Management System, as well as a Students Information Management, Bursary Allocation and Financing Platform for Empower the World Foundation, and an eLearning platform for the Institute of Professional Security Studies.

At ISCoD, I led the creation of GIS-powered platforms like Q2S for Water Resources Management and Paza Sauti, an anti-GBV platform with real-time reporting and predictive analytics. I have co-architected Reava Pay for digital payments, and I bring a unique mix of full-stack development, GIS, AI/LLMs, and cybersecurity, aligned with strategic business goals to deliver measurable community and organizational impact. I hold a BSc in Computer Science and multiple certifications (CCNA, USAID M&E, ISACA Cybersecurity, BIDA, IBM Mobile Specialist), and I thrive in collaborative environments, driving innovation and sustainable tech solutions.
