I build software

FMCG distribution
AI super-distributor
An AI-powered super-distributor for informal retail in East Africa — the dukas, kiosks and mama mbogas. It predicts demand, aggregates fragmented suppliers, and opens working capital to vendors the formal system ignored.
Last-mile delivery
Logistics platform
The whole delivery stack for African cities — orders, drivers, dispatch and live tracking — built end to end as the only developer on it.
