About
A builder
from Busia.
I am a full-stack developer and founder. I build products that ship, systems that scale, and an empire that compounds. Every project is a proof of concept for what East Africa can produce at world standard.
I run IOMTechs, a software development agency. Alongside client work, I am building the IOM Empire — five verticals designed to operate at multimillion-dollar scale.

Philosophy
Software is infrastructure. I build it like it has to last.
East Africa does not need to wait for permission to build at scale.
Speed and quality are not trade-offs. They're both the result of clear thinking.
