Engineering expertise

Backend & data

Python, FastAPI & PostgreSQL backend engineering

I design backend systems around business state that must remain correct: invoices and balances, patient and facility scope, cargo and driver payments, journal entries, authentication, callbacks, and long-running operational workflows.

What this looks like in practice

  • Rent invoices, partial payments, carried-forward credits, receipts, and automatic reconciliation in RentPayor.
  • Patient, facility, billing, clinical workflow, and M-Pesa payment state in CliviQue HMIS.
  • Idempotent driver payouts, callback handling, and ledger accounting in Macsim Cargo.
  • Voice-entry processing and AI-assisted metadata workflows in JournPad.
