ABOUT ME

I'm obsessed with building software businesses actually run on.

From civil engineering to computer science

This is my story — told through the systems I've shipped.

It started with a switch.

I began university in civil engineering — and walked away from it for computer science at Kenyatta University. In early 2020 I picked up the IBM Data Science Specialization and never looked back: by July 2021 I was freelancing, building financial modules with double-entry accounting for Taskplete and healthcare data dashboards for Biogex Pharmaceuticals.

Structures still fascinate me. I just build them out of data models now.

Proof of scale came early.

In June 2022, still an undergraduate, I led the engineering team that won Phase 2 of the Equity Bank National Hackathon — an MVP platform managing 30,000+ scholars in the Equity Leadership Program. Later, a top-40 finish out of 165 African teams at the A2SV Generative AI Hackathon.

Those wins taught me the lesson I've built on since: real systems are judged by the load they carry, not the demo they give.

From funnels to founding.

Running the full digital operation for Facacusub — website, course commerce, and funnels that generated 5,000+ leads — led to co-founding Miftah with the company's founder: a community platform that grew to 100+ active enterprise sub-communities within 30 days of launch.

In 2025 I founded Carasant Systems, my independent software practice. Every platform under it — the Vertex site-management system running 44 construction sites, Sakan's M-Pesa rent collection, Al Hadi's 11-program education platform, Alfanest's booking engine — was designed, built, deployed, and supported single-handedly.

Enterprise systems work and off hours in Nairobi

Enterprise by day.

Today I support enterprise systems at Kenya's National Syndemic Diseases Control Council — planning EDMS integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 alongside executive stakeholders, and rebuilding the Council's national bulk SMS platform on .NET 8 with Azure AD single sign-on as its sole developer.

Off hours, I'm usually prototyping the next product, refining the systems that run my practice, on long Nairobi drives, or hunting down the city's best coffee.

Thanks for stopping by!
