I work at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI-powered systems, and philosophical inquiry. The approach is the same: deep system understanding over surface-level completion.

Background

I'm pursuing a Bachelor's in Computer Science while building a public record of work across cybersecurity, local AI, automation, and practical systems.

Started in physical infrastructure, not code: Kenya Power, RK Shah, Close the Gap. Understanding how operational systems run before learning to build software on top of them. The shift happened naturally — operations to systems to intelligence.

Located in Nairobi, Kenya.

On φιλόσοφος

φιλόσοφος — Greek for “lover of wisdom.” Not used performatively. It describes a disposition: the belief that understanding a system deeply is more valuable than using it quickly.

This shows up in the work. Every project starts with understanding the problem before touching a keyboard. Every tool is chosen for what it actually does, not what it signals.
