AI and backend engineer. Agents, pipelines, and the systems around them.

Based in Nairobi, working remotely. Currently at Deloitte on data and AI systems. Contributing to OpenHands on agent security. Before AI, I built APIs, data pipelines, and full-stack products. 4+ years shipping end to end.

Selected Work
OpenHands 2026

Agent bypassed its tools and called the GitHub API directly using a broadly scoped token. Proposed and implemented two-token architecture - agent gets narrow permissions, resolver keeps broad ones.

Soma Agent 2026

Agentic document search. ReAct loop that reasons about what to read instead of relying on vector similarity. Small embedding model (90MB), agent reasoning compensates. 50% latency reduction over naive RAG.

PromptGuard 2025

Fine-tuned DeBERTa on ~51k examples for prompt injection detection. Deployed to Hugging Face in 16-bit and 8-bit.
