02 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Technical by trade.
Practical by nature.
I like understanding how things connect, where they break and how to make them work better for the people using them.
My background spans public-sector IT support, healthcare networks and systems administration at Mozzart Bet Kenya. That experience shapes the way I approach software: understand the workflow, investigate the details and make the next step clear.
Alongside infrastructure work, I build with TypeScript, React, Node.js and SQL. I’m particularly interested in APIs, integrations and applications that solve everyday operational problems.

04 / FIELD NOTES
Thinking out loud.
Good software starts with operational questions.
What infrastructure work brings to application development: a closer look at failure, support and the people using the system.
Test the journey, including the way back.
A practical way to approach user acceptance testing beyond the successful click-through.
Before connecting an API, ask these questions.
A working response is a starting point. Useful integrations also need clear data, failure states and ownership.
