I’m Ahmed — a solo full-stack developer building connected systems for farms, water infrastructure, and small businesses across Kenya. From soldered sensors to production web apps, I take a build end to end and ship it somewhere real people depend on.

Credit-readiness and farm-risk profiling, built for the field

Submitted · Kenya AI ChallengeAgri-tech

A voice-first PWA that scores farm risk and credit readiness for smallholder farmers, built for the Kenya AI Challenge 2026 (Mercy Corps AgriFin Track). Five roles — Farmer, Field Agent, Lender, Buyer, Admin — share one graph database. Loan requests run over USSD for offline access, chama groups stand in as social collateral, and disbursement settles over M-Pesa.

Sensor-to-dashboard water monitoring, wired by hand

Active · hardware in progressIoT / Water

A water monitoring rig built on Arduino Uno with ultrasonic, TDS, and flow sensors, an I2C LCD, and dual alert buzzers — simulated in Tinkercad before a single component was soldered. AquaDAO extends the same telemetry with on-chain governance on Celo, and the project is being shaped for both a university module and the SLINGSHOT 2026 and Web3Clubs Cohort 10 tracks.

Station note

Each assignment brought different constraints — residential operations, hardware installation, or full-stack product work. The common thread: building reliable systems where people depend on them.

About

Based in Thika,
building for Kenya.

I run Stable Stack Solutions, a small software practice out of Thika handling client web development and hosting, and I’m a first-year Computer and Communication Sciences student at Mount Kenya University. Most of what I build sits at the edge of hardware and web software — IoT telemetry, water systems, and agricultural platforms with a real audience in the Kenyan and East African context.

I work solo across freelance and competition projects, TypeScript-first, and I’d rather hand over a working system than a slide deck. If a build calls for a sensor, a graph database, and a USSD flow in the same product, that’s a normal Tuesday.
