Founder and Product Builder
Keeyu • Indépendant
May 2025 - Present • 1 yr 5 mos
I build software products for clients and for my own company, end to end: scoping, build, testing, deployment and handover. What I have shipped since going independent: - An AI customer support chatbot for small businesses that answers from the company's own website and documents, captures leads and hands over to a human when needed. - An IoT school attendance system that sends parents an SMS the moment their child checks in or out. - A mobile money escrow platform that holds funds until both sides confirm delivery. How I work: you get a short written scope before any money changes hands, a working version you can click through within days, and a live, tested product with documentation at the end. Fixed price, no surprises.

Digital Transformation Governance and Assurance Lead
Jan 2022 - May 2025 • 3 yrs 4 mos
Led the digital transformation of field operations for a telecom with thousands of field staff and contractors across the region. - Owned a safety and permit to work platform used by over 5,000 staff and contractors. It worked fully offline in remote areas and synced when the network returned, so teams at the most isolated sites could still log permits, hazards and incidents. - Delivered a meter reading app across 6,500 sites that cut erroneous readings by 85% and contributed to 25% energy cost savings. - Took the safety system's maturity rating from compliant to leading. - Built the business case for zero rating the app's data traffic and got it approved by the executive committee. - Managed developers, QA and cyber security from requirements through launch. What this means for you: I have run software builds where a bug stops real people from doing their jobs. I scope carefully, test properly and ship things that keep working.
