Questions

The answers, up front.

What hirers ask, answered plainly. The AI handles the rest.

What roles are you a fit for?

Three disciplines, one operator: enterprise networking and ISP infrastructure, payment automation and fintech, and full-stack platforms with cloud infra and IoT. The same proof supports all three: I ship and operate real systems solo across networks, payments, AI, and infra.

Are these products really yours?

Yes. FyberPay, MyPhotoAI, and Shellwire are live and operated by me. Every claim on this site links to the running product or a screenshot from it.

What is your timezone and overlap?

I am in Nairobi on EAT (UTC+3). I have full daily overlap with EMEA and three to four hours with US East in my afternoon.

How soon can you start?

Depends on the scope, from immediate to about two weeks of lead time. Tell me the scope and I will give you a date.

What is your rate?

Shared on brief and competitive for the role and scope. Send a short brief and I will quote.

Do you work async?

Yes, async-first with written handoffs and no required calls. I can join calls when they help.

Do you do frontend and backend?

Both, plus payments, infra, and deploy. FyberPay alone spans NestJS, Next.js, Prisma, RADIUS, and MikroTik.

Can you build AI agents that take real actions?

Yes. FyberPay has a role-aware tool registry where the assistant reads live data and performs vetted actions, grounded so it never invents capabilities.

Have you shipped payments in production?

Yes. M-Pesa Daraja and Paystack in FyberPay with dunning and invoicing, and Stripe in MyPhotoAI.

Do you do programmatic SEO?

Yes. MyPhotoAI runs a 500-page pSEO engine that reached 151K search impressions in 90 days, and Shellwire generates static editions for search. This site is built the same way.

Can you run infrastructure and deploy?

Yes. Docker Compose stacks, reverse proxies with automatic TLS, queues and schedulers, and Cloudflare tunnels on self-hosted VPS. This site ships that way.

Contract or full-time?

Open to both, and contract-to-hire is welcome.

Do you work solo or in a team?

I have shipped complex products solo and work well inside a team. I am comfortable owning a surface end to end or fitting into an existing one.

Where are you based?

Nairobi, Kenya. Open to global remote roles, no relocation or visa needed.
