Consultant Systems Engineer

I build and validate the systems behind the system.

I work in Model Based Systems Engineering, building simulation and validation engines in MATLAB that let teams test how complex systems behave before they are ever built. I also design and ship clean, fast web applications.

I am a systems engineer and developer based in Nairobi. Most of my work sits where careful engineering meets clean software, building simulation and validation tools for technical systems, and the automation that keeps them honest. I also design and ship web applications, and I write, both technical and academic. I care about work that is correct, readable and actually useful to the person on the other end. If you have something that needs to be built right, I would like to hear about it.

01 What I do
Primary practice

Model Based Systems Engineering & Simulation

I develop class based simulation scenarios and validation engines for state machine driven systems. From scenario design and guard evidence modelling to Monte Carlo sensitivity studies, I help teams understand how their systems behave under uncertainty, before committing to hardware.

Validation automation & CI/CD

Headless Python validation scripts, structural and transition checks for model based systems, and GitHub Actions pipelines that turn manual model checking into continuous, automated validation on every commit.

Python GitHub Actions CI/CD Testing
Web

Web design & development

Responsive, fast websites and web apps. React and Firebase front to back, or clean static sites deployed and live the same day.

React Firebase JavaScript HTML / CSS
Documents

Technical & business writing

Proposals, reports and structured documentation. Clear writing that turns technical work into something a decision maker can act on.

Academic writing

Well researched, properly referenced academic writing and coursework support. Clear structure, sound argument and careful sourcing across a range of subjects.

Research Referencing Editing
Tutoring

Web development tutoring

One to one coaching and full coursework support for students learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript and modern web tooling. Built to teach, not just to deliver.

CI/CD pipeline for automated model validation
Designed and built a GitHub Actions pipeline that runs model validation automatically on every commit. Headless execution, validation artifacts and reports stored as build outputs, and quality gates that pass on success and fail on threshold breach. Turned manual model checking into continuous validation.
