Software Engineer · Product Builder · Technologist

I build software products from idea to production. My experience spans software development, DevOps, project management, system architecture, data platforms, and AI-integrated applications.

Today, much of my work is built through Wekify LLC across two major areas:

• Kifuliiru Lab — Kifuliiru Language Laboratory.
• Peacae — general-purpose software products for work, productivity, workflows, events, recording, and other everyday problems.

I enjoy learning by building and solving problems that require me to move beyond what I already know.

I am driven by what I don't know.

2024 – Present

I design, build, deploy, and operate software products across Kifuliiru Lab and Peacae, working across architecture, frontend and backend development, databases, AI integration, deployment, and product iteration.

2017 – 2023

Software Developer → DevOps Lead / Administrator → Project Manager / Scrum Master

I progressed from software development into DevOps and technical project leadership, working across application development, deployments, cloud infrastructure, development tooling, Agile/Scrum, and software delivery.

Responsibilities included:

• Software development and Java code review
• GitHub and AWS administration
• Application deployments and development workflows
• Jira and Confluence administration
• Slack administration
• Agile/Scrum and project delivery
• Technical participation in hiring

Kifuliiru Lab is the Kifuliiru Language Laboratory.

It is where I work on Kifuliiru language research, structured data, computational tools, experimentation, preservation, and the infrastructure needed to bring the language into modern digital and AI systems.

What began as an effort to put more Kifuliiru knowledge online has grown into an interconnected ecosystem of structured datasets, contribution systems, data engines, conversational AI, publishing tools, audio, analysis, learning platforms, and community applications.

The goal is bigger than building websites: build the data and software infrastructure that allows Kifuliiru to participate in modern technology and AI.
