Infrastructure reliability for African fintech

African fintech is scaling faster than the infrastructure under it.

I help engineering teams fix latency, cut cloud costs, and keep systems online when the network doesn't cooperate.

Based in Nairobi. Working with clients in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, and remotely with US/EU teams expanding into Africa.

Proof

→ Reduced API p99 latency from 380ms to 95ms by optimizing Cloudflare edge routing and local MNO peering.

→ Cut AWS infrastructure costs by 35% through reserved instance planning and storage tiering.
