╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Full-stack Web3 and DeFi engineer building decentralized infrastructure for African markets. I architect DAO governance systems, DeFi protocols, and algorithmic trading engines — working across the entire stack from smart contracts to TypeScript APIs to React dashboards.
Currently building MtaaDAO (DAO + DeFi platform with M-Pesa integration) and MirrorCore-X (cognitive trading engine with autonomous agent architecture).
Background in AI/ML, embedded systems, and microprocessor instrumentation. I model systems before I build them.

MtaaDAO is a full-stack DAO and DeFi platform built for East African markets.
- 364 versioned API endpoints across DAOs, Wallets, Treasury, and YUKI trading — 0 TypeScript errors
- Three-persona dashboard: Okedi (governance), Yuki (trading), Amara (passive investment)
- M-Pesa on/off-ramp — native integration with East African mobile money
- Flash loan arbitrage on Aave V3 with hardened executor and strategy contracts
- Security-hardened: API audit across ~877 endpoints, treasury validation, flash loan voting protection
- Advanced Mode toggle unlocking leverage and smart contract execution
MirrorCore-X is a cognitive trading engine with autonomous agent architecture.
- Four-plane cognitive design: Perception · World Model · Agency · Action
- TypeScript world model with Entity/Edge/Event layers and confidence decay
- Market Intelligence Agent (MIA) with Redis integration and typed MCP server
- ScanStream AgentCouncil: multi-source consensus (Scanner + ML + RL) with five RL decision domains
- Watcher Tripwire runtime for embedded agent monitoring
