I build APIs that survive the real world. Over 9 years, I've designed fault-tolerant systems serving 1M+ farmers across Africa—most without reliable internet. This taught me to think in constraints: offline-first sync, cascading failure prevention, 30-second financial reports at scale. Recently: built diagnostic AI agents with Claude/MCP. Established org-wide chaos engineering practices that caught critical infrastructure gaps before they hit users. 7 years async/remote, 8 countries.
