About

Passionate about building
technology that matters

I'm a Software Engineer based in Malawi, Africa, with 7+ years of experience designing and delivering software that solves real problems at scale. I currently serve at the Global Health Informatics Institute, engineering CDC-funded public health platforms with HL7/FHIR integrations, DHIS2 data pipelines, and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Before that, I led systems development at iMoSyS Limited — shipping ERP systems, e-commerce platforms, mobile applications, and embedded IoT solutions across multiple countries. My work spans the full depth of the stack: from low-level firmware and microcontrollers to distributed cloud infrastructure, AI agents, and large language model fine-tuning. I bring both technical rigour and a product mindset to every project I take on.
