I lead engineering at Emen. We design and build platforms, AI features and connected devices for Kenyan businesses — built for mobile phones, M-Pesa, patchy networks and real installations in the field.
What I do
Most projects need more than one. Having them under one roof means the app, the model and the device are designed together.
Web and mobile platforms, marketplaces, online shops and business systems — with M-Pesa, WhatsApp and offline use built in from day one.
Machine learning, voice agents, computer vision and generation, added where they change an outcome — with fallbacks so the product still works when a model doesn't.
ESP32 firmware, LED signage, sensors and telemetry — configured rather than rewritten for each site, and updated safely over the air.
Selected work
The problem, what was built, and where it stands today.
Some client and product repositories are private. Happy to walk through them on a call.
How we work
Who uses it, on what phone, on what network, paying how. We agree goals, constraints, milestones and a timeline.
Architecture and a working slice of the hardest piece — a payment flow, a model, a device — before committing to the full build.
Iterative delivery with regular demos, automated tests, continuous deployment and documentation.
Hosting, support and iteration after launch, guided by how the product is actually used.
Work together
Tell me what you're trying to do, who it's for and when you need it. First consultation and estimate are free.
