Kenyan engineer.
East Africa's AI
infrastructure layer.

I'm a Kenyan diaspora software engineer based in Manassas, Virginia, building what I call "decision infrastructure for East Africa" — a portfolio of open-source AI tools, MCP servers, datasets, and agents that make the benefits of AI accessible to Swahili speakers across Kenya and the broader East African region.

The core thesis is simple: the most transformative AI applications for East Africa will not be translations of Western products. They will be built by people who understand the institutional context — how M-PESA actually works, what KCSE exams test, why land fraud is endemic, how county government functions, what pastoralists actually ask their veterinarians. I am one of those people, and I build accordingly.

mpesa-mcp, an MCP server for M-PESA's Daraja API, runs alongside two other agent-protocol implementations — an A2A server and a Google ADK deployment — both built for Kenya civic and financial use cases. Each protocol was implemented for this region within weeks of its global release, because the coordination problems they solve don't wait.

The portfolio covers financial inclusion, health, legal access, civic accountability, agriculture, education, environment, housing, transport, trade, mental health, emergency response, and informal-sector coordination — all in Kiswahili, all deployable today. Browse the full list on GitHub.

Alongside the civic tech work, I maintain Quantum Maestro — an options trading education and planning platform built on the IWT (Invest with Teri) framework, with a structured Trade Setup Card, watchlist discipline gates, and backtesting against real market data.

I am actively seeking collaboration with researchers, funders, and organizations working on African language AI, digital public infrastructure, and financial inclusion technology. I have applied to the LINGUA Africa grant (Microsoft AI for Good Lab × Gates Foundation × Masakhane Hub) and am registered in the awesome-mcp-servers index.
