Hi, I'm Felix 👋

I'm an Electrical & Electronic Engineer and founder of Savvytex Marines Ltd. For more than ten years I've built systems where software, networks and hardware all have to work together, in production, on real sites.

One week I'm writing a Django API and an Electron desktop client; the next I'm configuring a dual-WAN MikroTik gateway or debugging STM32 firmware on a battery management board. Clients hire me because one engineer can own the whole problem, from the circuit board to the cloud dashboard.

I work remotely with clients anywhere in the world. UTC+3 gives a full working-day overlap with Europe and the Middle East, and morning overlap with the US East Coast.

🏫 Flagship: AEMMS, an education management platform

AEMMS is a full ecosystem I designed and built for teacher-training and TVET (technical and vocational) colleges. Staff author, mark, and release exams on a desktop app; trainees sit exams on a locked-down desktop client; supervisors assess teaching practice and industrial attachment from a mobile app that works offline; and an on-campus AI service handles face verification and learning assistance. It's all tied together by a Django API and licensed from a central vendor server.

🌐 Live campus network build: Chesta Teachers Training College (2026)

Lead engineer for a full production deployment at a college in West Pokot, Kenya:

Dual-WAN resilience: Starlink primary with Airtel failover, so the campus stays online through an ISP outage.
Identity-based Wi-Fi: FreeRADIUS and UniFi, with every student logging in with their own credentials instead of a shared password.
Exam lockdown: during exams, student internet is blocked except for approved exam servers, device limits are enforced, and staff networks stay online.
Self-hosted services: the AEMMS platform, Mailcow email and Jitsi video conferencing, all running on Proxmox.
NetworkMate control room: a web portal that lets the IT team manage students, devices and exam mode without touching router configs.
Full handover: equipment inventory and operations runbooks for the client's own team.

_{── TRACK RECORD}

Experience

Over ten years I've owned systems end to end, from the circuit board to the cloud and from the first diagram to the handover binder.

What you get when you hire me

🎯 One accountable engineer
_OWNERSHIP

Architecture, build, deployment and handover across software, networks and hardware. You don't have to coordinate three vendors.

🛡️ Built for bad days
_RESILIENCE

Dual internet links, offline-first mobile apps, and an exam lockdown that keeps the admin office online. Things keep running when one part fails.

📦 Handover, not lock-in
_OPERABILITY

Every deployment ships with an inventory and runbooks your own team can follow. The software runs on your servers, under a signed licence.

⚡ Ships at pace
_DELIVERY

1,989 commits across six products in 2026. AEMMS went from its first commit in February to a live campus the same year.

Roles

_{FOUNDER · FULL TIME}

🏢 Founder and Lead Engineer · Savvytex Marines Ltd

_{NAIROBI · REMOTE-READY · PRODUCT, ARCHITECTURE AND DELIVERY}

I set product direction and lead the engineering for everything the company ships.

Designed AEMMS: 10 codebases and 6 apps, in two regulator editions (KNEC and CDACC) on one shared architecture.
Set the business model: customers subscribe, but the system runs on the campus's own servers. Ed25519-signed licences control modules, seats and expiry.
Built the product line: NetworkMate (campus network control), the Savvytex company platform (website, operations, social publishing, licensing), VoteMate and TradeMate.
Wrote the code: 1.03M lines and 1,989 commits across 16 private repositories (measured, see telemetry).
Design solutions with the client: I work directly with college principals on local-network exams, named-user Wi-Fi and exam-week operations.

_{FLAGSHIP DEPLOYMENT}

🏫 Lead Engineer · Chesta Teachers Training College

_{PRODUCTION CAMPUS STACK · TEACHING, ADMINISTRATION AND NATIONAL EXAM WEEKS}

Problem	What I built	Result
A single internet provider was a single point of failure	Starlink primary with Airtel failover on MikroTik	Teaching and admin stay online when one provider drops
Shared Wi-Fi passwords, no idea who is online	FreeRADIUS + UniFi login with each trainee's assessment number, whole roster imported, device limits	A named user for every device
Exams need the internet shut for students, not for the office	Separate student and staff networks, plus a gateway exam mode that allows only KNEC and SABE exam hosts	Exam lockdown with one switch, and administration keeps working
Exams and results had to run on campus, not in someone else's cloud	AEMMS on campus with release control and transcripts; SystemMate and ExamMate clients	Exams, marking and results run on the campus's own hardware
The college needed email and video meetings it controls	Self-hosted Mailcow mail and Jitsi video, NetworkMate ops portal, all on Proxmox	Communication the college owns

Handed over with an inventory for the principal and operations cookbooks for IT staff. Next phase: a fibre modernisation proposal with a bill of quantities (proposed, not built).

Message me by email or WhatsApp with a short description of what you need.
30-minute discovery call on Google Meet, Zoom or WhatsApp, at a time that suits your timezone.
Written proposal with scope, milestones, timeline and a fixed price or monthly retainer.
Build in the open: a private repo you own, weekly demos, and progress you can see.
Handover: documentation, deployment runbooks and post-launch support.

I'm open to fixed-scope projects, monthly retainers and long-term remote roles (contract or full-time).
