Full-stack Web3 and DeFi engineer building decentralized infrastructure for African markets. I architect DAO governance systems, DeFi protocols, and algorithmic trading engines — working across the entire stack from smart contracts to TypeScript APIs to React dashboards.

Currently building MtaaDAO (DAO + DeFi platform with M-Pesa integration) and MirrorCore-X (cognitive trading engine with autonomous agent architecture).

Background in AI/ML, embedded systems, and microprocessor instrumentation. I model systems before I build them.
