Backend engineer with 8 years of experience, currently Engineering Team Lead at
a fintech. I own the financial backend end-to-end: payment
infrastructure across 7 rails (Stripe, M-Pesa, Basis Theory, direct
bank APIs), serving hundreds of thousands of users in Kenya and Tanzania.
On the side I built Watchdock, an observability platform that processes 25M+
nginx logs and generates AI-powered incident fixes. Also shipped MyFinance AI,
a personal finance tool with a custom ML model hitting 92.4% accuracy on
spending predictions.
Open to senior backend, staff, fintech/payments, or founding engineer roles.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Python, Django, FastAPI, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, Docker, AWS, TypeScript, Next.js
