I'm Amos, a software engineer in Nairobi. I build things people use every day, and I stay to keep them running.
At Amsol Africa and Krestworks I'm the lead backend and AI engineer, working with a team of developers and non-technical colleagues. On my other projects I'm the engineer from start to finish, working directly with clients and with friends who bring ideas. PhotoDrop, ErrandGo and FixMate all started that way.
Most of my work connects software to the real world: M-Pesa, KRA receipts, Kenyan payroll law, biometric clocks, prepaid water meters and receipt printers. Before engineering full time I led AIESEC Chuka as chapter president. That's where I learned to run projects and people.
- Own the whole lifecycleFrom the first conversation to years of maintenance.
- Measure, don't guessLoad tests and numbers before opinions.
- Write it downDocs, runbooks and setup scripts anyone can follow.
- Stay after launchSoftware changes after it ships. I change with it.
Where I've built.
