01. About

Building systems
that scale.

I'm Simon โ€” a Full-Stack Engineer with 3+ years of experience delivering production-grade digital systems across diverse domains. My work spans the entire software stack: from precision-crafted React interfaces to robust Django, Flask, and C#/.NET backend architectures.

My technical edge is breadth with depth: I architect cloud-native solutions on Azure, design normalized database schemas in PostgreSQL and SQL Server, wire intelligent AI pipelines using OpenAI and Claude, and ship cross-platform mobile apps in React Native and Kotlin.

I'm driven by solving real operational problems โ€” automating workflows that save hours every day, building platforms that serve thousands of users reliably, and engineering integrations that unlock measurable revenue. From Nairobi startups to global clients.

LIVE IN PRODUCTION

Civet Investments โ€” Rental Property Management Platform

A full-stack property management platform that centralises tenant lifecycle management, automated rent billing, M-Pesa payment reconciliation, and maintenance workflow tracking within a single landlord-agent portal. The billing engine runs on a scheduled pipeline that generates statements, sends M-Pesa payment prompts via Daraja API, and updates ledgers automatically โ€” eliminating manual rent collection entirely.

ResearchPro โ€” Academic Research Services Platform

A dedicated platform that orchestrates the full research services workflow โ€” from project brief submission and researcher matching through milestone tracking, secure file exchange, payment processing, and a structured review-and-revision cycle. The payment module supports Stripe and M-Pesa with webhook-driven status updates, keeping clients and researchers in sync at every stage.

Rental Agency Operations Dashboard

A multi-property operations dashboard that gives agency managers a real-time view of portfolio performance โ€” occupancy rates, rent collection status, maintenance request queues, and agent activity summaries. Built as an administrative layer on top of the Civet property management platform, enabling branch-level reporting and cross-property financial analysis.

Rabit โ€” Farm Decision Intelligence System

A data science-driven agricultural platform that transforms daily farm operations data into actionable intelligence. The system ingests crop monitoring readings, livestock health records, and weather signals to power predictive yield models and surface prioritised decision recommendations through an operations dashboard โ€” helping farm managers act on insight rather than intuition.

WaterBill โ€” Utility Billing Automation System

An automated billing platform for water utility providers that replaces manual meter-reading and statement workflows with a fully digital pipeline. The system manages tenant accounts, processes field-officer meter readings via a companion mobile interface, applies a tiered pricing engine, dispatches bulk SMS notifications via Twilio, and reconciles M-Pesa payments โ€” reducing billing cycle time from days to minutes.

Hospital Management System

A multi-department healthcare operations platform covering patient record management, appointment scheduling, clinical billing, laboratory result routing, and pharmacy inventory โ€” all consolidated under role-based staff portals. The system generates PDF clinical reports and financial statements on demand, with a Celery-powered notification layer that keeps patients and clinical staff informed at each care stage.

Mobile Security Monitoring Platform

A real-time device telemetry platform that ingests event streams from monitored mobile endpoints, applies an OpenAI-powered anomaly detection layer, and surfaces geofencing violations and threat flags to an operator dashboard over WebSockets. The AI pipeline classifies behavioural deviations automatically, reducing manual review overhead and enabling faster incident response.

AI Document Assistant (RAG)

An intelligent document retrieval platform that allows legal and HR teams to query large document repositories in natural language. Uploaded PDFs are chunked, embedded, and indexed into a vector store; a LangChain-orchestrated RAG pipeline routes queries to the Claude API and returns cited, context-grounded answers โ€” dramatically cutting document review time for compliance-heavy workflows.
