Most engineering problems are not just about code. They sit somewhere between the system and the people building it. That is where I have spent most of my career.

I am a software architect who works hands-on while leading teams and shaping how organisations build and operate systems.

Over the past 11+ years, I have worked across early-stage startups and large-scale platforms. I focus on taking unclear ideas, turning them into working systems, and making sure teams can actually use and evolve them without friction.

At a HealthTech startup, I joined as one of the early engineers and helped build the platform from scratch. As the company grew to 300+ engineers, I led platform and infrastructure efforts that supported over 800 services. This included CI/CD, internal tooling, cost controls, and reliability practices that made day-to-day development faster and safer.

At HelloFresh, I led the GraphQL initiative from the ground up. That meant learning the space quickly, defining the architecture, aligning with leadership, and driving adoption across teams. In parallel, I worked on  Server-Driven UI, helping product teams ship changes without waiting for app releases. Both initiatives moved from early discussions to production systems used across the organisation.

Earlier at ThoughtWorks, I worked with Ministries of Health in East Africa to roll out clinical systems such as Bahmni and OpenMRS. This involved building local teams, working closely with hospitals, and delivering software in environments where downtime had real-world consequences.

Today, I lead compliance and risk engineering  for a large-scale iGaming platform. The systems I work on serve over 30 million users across multiple markets and handle peak traffic of around 12k requests per second.

I still write code, review designs, and stay close to the systems I build.

Because in the end, architecture is not just about designing systems. It is about making them work in the real world.
