Backend engineer working on payments and geospatial systems in startups. Built a mobile-money (M-Pesa) pipeline with idempotent reconciliation for a banking platform serving 2,000+ smallholder farmers, migrated a production database to PostGIS for farm plot geometry, and built flyt.africa end to end - flight search through issued ticket, FastAPI/Postgres/Kafka on AWS with Terraform and 330 tests.

Applied through the portal recently... the EUDR farm-list validation work is a problem I've worked on from the agricultural side. Happy to answer anything if it's useful to Enveritas.
