What I do best

01

Network Architecture

Enterprise-scale routing, switching, and perimeter security using Cisco and Fortinet. Resilient, fault-tolerant topologies that treat uptime and hardening as non-negotiable.

Bahmni Healthcare HMIS

Deploying and configuring Bahmni — the open-source hospital management information system used across low-resource healthcare settings. End-to-end setup, customisation, and ongoing technical support for clinical and administrative workflows.

Virtualisation

Deploying and managing Proxmox and Windows Server environments. High-availability clusters, VM lifecycle management, and storage optimisation — all built to survive hardware failure.

Web Development

High-performance, responsive web applications for international NGOs and corporate agencies. Every site is engineered with server performance in mind — because I've seen both sides of the stack.

Network Automation

Using Python and Go to eliminate manual, error-prone network operations. Transitioning legacy environments into agile, software-defined workflows aligned with Cisco DevNet standards — because anything done twice should be scripted the third time.

03 / About

The hybrid engineer

"My expertise spans the entire stack — from configuring enterprise-grade Cisco and Fortinet networks to deploying custom web applications and healthcare HMIS."

Currently driving technical operations at KUTRRH in Nairobi, I bridge robust hardware infrastructure and scalable software. Whether it's a Bahmni HMIS rollout, a Proxmox cluster, or a full-stack web project, I deliver results that put uptime, security, and efficiency first.

I bring a rare hybrid perspective: my infrastructure background ensures every line of code I write is optimised for server performance, and my development experience ensures every network I build is accessible and user-centric.

Security first

Every architecture starts hardened — never as an afterthought.

Automate everything

If it's done twice, it should be scripted the third time.

High availability

Downtime is not an option. Redundancy is a requirement.

Performance

Speed optimised at every layer — hardware to HTTP.
