Hello, I'm Daniel
👋
Based in Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪•Working remotely and on-site
I'm a software engineer with fullstack capabilities. I work efficiently across the stack, delivering stable, end-to-end solutions.
Working within resource constraints has sharpened my focus, fueled creativity, and pushed me to build systems that are lean, scalable, and built to last.

| Compliance, Ethics, Privacy & Security | Data Privacy AwarenessSecurity Best PracticesEthical AI considerationsResponsible data handlingCompliance |
| AI Integration and Data Engineering | MCPRAGVector embeddingsLLM fine-tuning |
I also integrate AI into my workflow—not as a novelty, but as a force multiplier. I use it to:
- Accelerate code generation, refactoring, and testing.
- Automate infrastructure configuration and debugging.
- Draft and polish technical content and documentation.
- Build intelligent features directly into applications.
Soft skills:
| Resourcefulness and Constraint-driven development | Constraints breeds resourcefulness and creativity. Able to find creative solutions with limited resources, leveraging existing tools and frameworks effectively. |
| Clear communication | Clear, concise, and context-aware in both writing and speech |
| Problem-solving | Able to break down complex challenges and find practical, scalable solutions |
| Initiative and Ownership | Proactive in identifying opportunities and driving projects forward independently. I also care about outcomes, not just code, and follow through until things work |
| Team-orientation | Comfortable working cross-functionally, giving and receiving feedback constructively |
| Adaptability and Fast learning | Thrive in fast-changing environments and quickly learn new tools or domains. I embrace change and see it as an opportunity for growth. |
| Curiosity | Always eager to learn, explore new technologies, and improve my craft |
| Empathy | Understanding user needs and building solutions that truly serve them |
