<Software Engineer&AI/RAG Engineer />
I build production-grade web platforms, LLM-powered products, and enterprise integrations end-to-end. 3+ years across Python, Django, React, TypeScript, and modern AI architecture. Nairobi, Kenya
I work across backend services, React interfaces, AI assistants, vector search, production deployments, documentation, and stakeholder communication.
Production RAG built to be trustworthy, not just impressive: similarity-thresholded retrieval, reranking (bge-reranker-v2-m3), refusal on low confidence, and source-grounded citations. LLaMA-3.1 (Groq), Gemini, OpenAI, DeepSeek, LangChain, Pinecone, ChromaDB, intent routing, and eval/regression suites.
Python, Django, DRF, FastAPI, Flask, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Chakra UI, Bootstrap, WebSockets, Celery, and secure REST APIs.
Oracle Fusion HCM/Financials, RBAC, security policies, KRA iTax integrations, payment gateways, CI/CD, staging environments, and quality gates.
Remote, on-site, and hybrid roles with ownership across architecture, implementation, deployment, support, and team collaboration.
Shipped product work, integrations, AI workflows, and production infrastructure.
AI legal assistant for Kenyan law with a two-step triage → answer RAG pipeline: dual-corpus retrieval over ChromaDB (case law + the Constitution) with calibrated cosine-distance cutoffs, relevance-scored citations, and a strict "never fabricate a case or section" prompt with graceful refusal on out-of-scope input. LLaMA-3.1 via Groq + LangChain; Sentence-Transformers embeddings.
Complete company platform built solo, covering architecture, Django/DRF backend, React/TypeScript frontend, deployment, SSL, CI/CD, and maintenance.
Islamic knowledge platform built solo across backend, web, and mobile. A Pinecone RAG assistant grounded in the Qur'an and Hadith — llama-text-embed-v2 embeddings, bge-reranker-v2-m3 reranking, a confidence floor that returns a low-confidence message instead of guessing, intent classification, query rewriting, bilingual EN/AR answers, and per-excerpt citations. LLaMA-3.1 via Groq with Google Gemini fallback.
Referral and tour booking platform with payments, referral tracking, automated commissions, JWT authentication, Celery tasks, and Admin/Agent/Customer portals.
Multi-portal school system for Admins, Teachers, Students, and Parents with admissions, fee payments, results publishing, SMS/email automation, and CI/CD.
Company-wide Management Information System for operations, HR, inventory, dashboards, document management, task assignment, RBAC, and WebSocket notifications.
Secure REST endpoints and production support around Oracle Fusion HCM/Financials, user provisioning, security policies, KRA iTax, and payment gateway integrations.
Modern, fully responsive church website platform with a video hero, service times, ministry cards, events, and online community engagement, built mobile-first.
Vehicle sales, rental, and travel platform with car listings and filtering, a rental fleet with booking, travel events, and a sell-your-car listing flow.
Website for a Mombasa children's literacy club combining story reading, debate, chess, and creative arts for children aged 7 to 12.
The stack I reach for across backend, frontend, AI, data, and production delivery.
