Backend systems for products that need lift-off.

I build production platforms, Go microservices, payment flows, and healthcare products with the polish of a product engineer and the discipline of a backend lead.

Building things that
solve real problems

I'm a backend-focused full stack engineer and founder based in Lusaka, Zambia. I co-founded Chiron Health Technologies a health-tech startup digitising infrastructure for Zambian healthcare and work as a Backend Engineer at Crystalised Apps.

My core stack is Go for microservices and APIs, with Kafka and NATS for event-driven systems, gRPC for service communication, and PostgreSQL for data. On the frontend I reach for Next.js and React Native. I also work in Python and Java when the job calls for it.

I lean heavily on AI tools to accelerate development from scaffolding to debugging to documentation without sacrificing code quality or architecture.

My philosophy: write code the next engineer will thank you for, and build products users actually come back to.
