If you’re a company
I might be what you’ve been missing.
You probably already have builders and managers. What’s harder to find is someone who can own delivery and stay honest about the tech — so stalled work starts moving again.

Open to senior TPM / delivery roles and Q1 partnerships

When a product has to ship — and stay up — I help close the gap.
I help companies and partners ship and steady platforms — media, payments, travel, and data. Engineering-trained, I’m targeting Technical Program Manager / platform delivery seats where I can own outcomes end-to-end (not slide-only PM work).

Proof before the pitch
A few problems I’ve helped move when the platform, the people, and the deadline all mattered — start here if you want evidence before we talk.

Who this is for
Depending on how we meet
Pick the path that fits — then jump to work, partnerships, or a conversation.
If you’re an individual
You’ll want to work with me.
I don’t hide behind process, and I don’t pretend to understand a system I don’t. People who work beside me tend to leave clearer, sharper, and more confident in the craft.

There’s a lot you can learn here.
Agencies, integrators, and founders don’t only get capacity. You get judgment from shipping at telco and media scale — the kind of patterns you only pick up by living through them.
Explore partnershipsHow I work
I can code, run the program, and advise — without losing the plot.
I’m an engineer by training, and I’m aiming for technical program ownership — end-to-end delivery outcomes, not slide-only PM work. A lot of teams split the work: engineers in one room, program managers in another, consultants who drop in with slides. The hard part is usually the space between those rooms — dates that ignore the architecture, architecture that ignores the calendar, advice that never meets production.
I’ve lived on both sides. I’ve built backends for platforms with 100k+ daily users, led programs that cut downtime by about 90%, stood up a data lake over eight months, and helped deliver systems work on Safaricom’s Baze through Big Bold Red.
So when we talk, you’re not getting a job title — you’re getting someone who has done the work companies, teammates, and partners usually wish they had in the room earlier.

Remote systems for VFAW
A Paris-based international NGO bridging Europe and Africa. I support their platforms remotely from Nairobi — proof that I can deliver async with EU stakeholders on work that still has to hold, even when the mission isn’t commercial.
Why this mattersOpen to
Roles with real ownership. Partnerships with clear scope.
If you’re hiring, I can fill the seat that usually falls between engineering and program management. If you want to work together as a teammate, the focus is clear delivery and honest technical judgment. If you’re a partner, bring a scoped problem — engagement terms are agreed in writing before work starts.
Full-time or long-term roles, agency work, focused platform programs, and selective advisory — when scope, fees, and expectations can be documented properly.
