Hi there πŸ‘‹πŸ½, I'm Dennis

I'm a software engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ. I focus on building reliable, AI-powered backend systems and mobile products.

Python FastAPI Swift Redis PostgreSQL

I focus on infrastructure that is simple, transparent, and high-performance.

I currently work at Seismic as a backend engineer.

πŸš€ Projects

Illumity

An AI-powered image generation iOS app built with Swift and SwiftUI for the frontend, Python (FastAPI) backend. It uses a credit-based system with StoreKit 2. Supabase is used for auth and storage.

Still200 - coming soon

An uptime API monitoring platform for indie devs who hate bloat. Built around async Python workers and Redis. I chose to go the no-framework route and get my hands dirty with a custom scheduler based on redis sorted sets, list queues for notifications and PubSub for real-time fan-out.

Some of the internals are/will be open source:

  • API contract - Standardizing monitor-to-API communication.

  • Agent - this will be a light-weight system metrics (CPU, disk) collector.

πŸ“± iOS Apps

A collection of additional apps I've built and shipped to the App Store:

  • Filmster - an entertainment companion.

  • Torqy - a car maintenance tracker.

Let's Build Something Great πŸ‘·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

I’m always open to collaborating on high-stakes projectsβ€” whether it’s architecting a high-performance backend, designing a scalable REST API, or crafting a fluid iOS experience. If you have an idea that requires a focus on reliability and performance, let's talk. Feel free to reach out.
