Profile
I build software for places where the consequences are real. Money moves, customers complain, reports need to balance, and a bug is not just a bug if it can invoice someone by mistake.
By day, I run Keridan and work on systems for financial institutions and credit operations. By night, I publish across a growing ecosystem: Takura Nyagumbo for personal and builder content, Clueless Pundit for computing history, Clueless Pundit 2 for colder documentary commentary, and Lace Up for running and athletic discipline.
Origin story: I taught myself to code at 15 on an HP-11C calculator. No YouTube, no Stack Overflow, no AI, just stubbornness and a machine that barely qualifies as forgiving.
I am drawn to building and explaining. Building because reality is stubborn and needs persuasion. Explaining because half the technology industry communicates like it is being paid by the fog machine.
Practical software, usually in the category where the phones ring if the system falls over.
Stories, frameworks, and commentary that respect context instead of pretending every problem was born in San Francisco.
I have no patience for hand-wavy claims. If we cannot measure it, test it, or at least describe it clearly, it is probably marketing.
The short version.
Start with the library if you want the full view of my Playground, or the blog if you want the editorial thread.
