Professional Experience

Software Engineer Intern

Eclectics Intl. · Internship

Nairobi County, Kenya · On-site
May 2026 - Present

Contributed to a full-stack escrow platform by delivering backend access-control and account-lifecycle features, and improving Android app reliability and UX.

  • Implemented role-based seller onboarding: OTP verification followed by mandatory admin/super-admin approval before account activation and login
  • Built and reorganized admin-facing APIs for seller approval and employee provisioning (admin/super-admin creation) with strict authorization checks
  • Extended user-status lifecycle and DB migration support for new approval states to align API behavior with persistence constraints
  • Added transactional email notifications for seller onboarding milestones (verification acknowledgment and admin-approval activation)
  • Improved payment robustness by hardening callback idempotency and reconciliation-related backend logic
  • Refined transaction API behavior to return clean empty states for no-data scenarios, reducing frontend error noise
  • Modernized Android authentication flows using Jetpack Compose and resolved critical UI/compile issues across login, signup, OTP verification, and splash flows
  • Removed runtime dummy data from mobile pages and shifted views to API-driven loading, error, and empty-state handling
  • Validated changes continuously through backend (Maven) and Android (Gradle/Kotlin) build checks
Software Development Software Infrastructure

Backend Engineer — Service Monitoring Intern

Indra Group · Internship

Parklands/Highridge ward, Nairobi County, Kenya · Hybrid
Jan 2026 - Apr 2026

Designed and implemented a backend observability platform for monitoring service health, errors, and alert lifecycles across containerized services. Built deterministic monitoring pipelines (HTTP/TCP probes), real-time metrics ingestion, and alert workflows to improve incident visibility and operational reliability.

  • Developed and maintained a Spring Boot monitoring backend with actuator metrics, simulation endpoints, and webhook ingestion for alert events
  • Implemented a PostgreSQL monitoring data model (service_checks, service_state, service_incidents, alert_events) with probe configuration per service to support data-driven monitoring
  • Built a deterministic Python data writer to run scheduled probes, upsert service state, and open/resolve incidents based on status transitions
  • Integrated Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Grafana for end-to-end alerting, dashboarding, and operational validation in Docker Compose
  • Improved reliability through root-cause analysis, bug fixing, config hardening, and structured documentation for reproducible setup and testing
  • Collaborated through iterative reviews, testing, and deployment updates to align monitoring outputs with practical incident-response needs
