Senior Software & Infrastructure Engineer / Kenya
With six years of experience, I build software and run the systems behind it. My work spans backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, automation, and security-minded operations.
Digital Infrastructure Lead at Food Innovation Studio
THE THINGS I BUILD & RUN
Hands-on infrastructure work and ambitious builds on my roadmap. Planned projects are ideas I intend to implement; select any project for the scope.
The environment includes Home Assistant, network management, NAS, media, video surveillance, and a Docker host. I’ve worked on secure remote access, GPU passthrough, troubleshooting, and planning backups and recovery across workloads.
Operated containerized services with Docker Compose and Cloudflare Tunnel, configured a separate staging database and access, and troubleshot application and deployment issues.
Built and tested n8n workflows using triggers and APIs for Facebook and Instagram publishing, including external webhook access and integration troubleshooting.
Build an API and worker that provision tenant environments, manage deployment lifecycles, and roll back failed releases. Add role-based access, audit logs, health checks, and a control-plane dashboard.
Build independently deployable services with an event broker, transactional outbox, idempotent consumers, retries, and dead-letter queues. Document failure modes and test recovery under load.
Implement OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect integrations, short-lived sessions, role-based permissions, audit events, and rate limiting. Include threat modeling and automated security tests.
Build scheduled backup jobs, retention policies, encrypted storage, status reporting, and restore drills for virtual machines and application data. Document recovery objectives and test the restore process.
Instrument a sample application with metrics, logs, and traces; define service-level objectives and actionable alerts. Add deployment checks, runbooks, failure injection, and an incident review.
