The problem
Centralised the customer journey and operational data, reduced manual hand-offs and set up a documented AWS foundation.
Direct ordering and order management: menus, orders, payments and fulfilment, with automated order intake and status updates that cut merchants' operational overhead.
A WhatsApp-based job platform (Altur), Harambee Youth Accelerator's move from a mobisite to WhatsApp, and eButler's WhatsApp ordering with payments through Flash.
What was built
Led architecture and hands-on engineering for an online booking platform: Python APIs and the AWS deployment architecture, integrated with Paystack, Sage Accounting, Zoho Bigin and Zoho SalesIQ.
