I build software for people who have to deal with money, customers, and consequences — which is to say, the kinds of systems where bugs don’t just “crash,” they invoice.
By day: I run Keridan (founded 2022) and ship products like Collections Booster for financial institutions — including work connected to outfits like CBZ and InnBucks. By night: I make videos under Clueless Pundit about computing history, tech careers in Africa, and the weird little human stories hiding behind “innovation.”
Origin story: I started teaching myself to code at 15 on an HP-11C calculator. Yes, a calculator!
I’m drawn to two things: building and explaining. Building because reality is stubborn and needs persuasion. Explaining because half the tech industry communicates exclusively through fog.
Practical software, mostly in the “if this breaks, the phones will ring” category. I like systems that are auditable, testable, and unreasonably hard to misuse.
Computing history and career advice for the African context — minus the motivational posters. I’m interested in what actually works when your constraints aren’t theoretical.
I’m allergic to hand-wavy claims. If we can’t measure it, test it, or at least describe it clearly, it’s probably marketing. (Or religion. Sometimes both.)
