Working on
I work at Abstract Machines, where I lead the UI development for Magistrala, an open-source IoT platform. I build backend services and web interfaces using Go, TypeScript, and Next.js.
My work covers device management, telemetry, real-time messaging, alarms, reporting, authentication, and API integrations. I focus on making complex platforms easier to operate through clear interfaces and reliable backend services.
Before joining Abstract Machines, I worked on client projects at Ultraviolet Consult and led the telemetry team for the Nakuja student rocket project at JKUAT. I also co-founded Threal ITL, a web development company based in Nairobi.
Software engineering roles across IoT, web platforms, developer tools, and telemetry systems.
A selection of open-source platforms, internal products, and client projects I have worked on.
A web interface for managing users, devices, groups, channels, policies, telemetry, alarms, reports, and other Magistrala services. Built with Next.js and TypeScript, it handles authentication, multi-tenant domains, real-time message visualization, and dashboard building.
The product and documentation website for Magistrala, designed to help users understand the platform, review its capabilities, and start using it.
A Go service that allows users to define Lua-based rules for processing IoT messages and triggering actions.
The website for Threal ITL, a Nairobi-based web development company I co-founded to build websites and web applications for clients.
An e-commerce website for handmade Kenyan beadwork, with Strapi used to manage products and other store content.
I prefer established technologies, clear architecture, and software that is easy to operate and maintain. My usual stack includes Go, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, and Next.js, selected according to the needs of the product rather than novelty.
Other projects include internal platforms, client systems, experiments, and work that is not publicly accessible. Get in touch if you would like to hear more about any of it.
The languages, frameworks, and infrastructure I use most often.
My academic background in telecommunications, information engineering, and software systems.
Articles and guides on web development, IoT platforms, and the tools I work with.
