Who I am
High-Resilience Software
I build software that keeps working when the network fails: offline-first tools, native GPS and OBD-II integrations, and practical systems for logistics bottlenecks in emerging markets like the EAC.
Full-stack software engineer building production systems with Python, TypeScript, React, Django, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. Independently delivers secure operations platforms from requirements through Railway deployment, including JWT/RBAC authorization, encrypted secrets, Stripe billing, audit trails, offline workflows, automated tests, and CI gates. Current flagship work demonstrates SaaS operations automation, governed database access, and jurisdiction-aware fleet compliance. Brings 25 years of precision-driven federal operations, military electronics, and QA experience to software that must remain dependable under real operating conditions.
