·LiveMulinga Coffee Estate — MkulimaOS pilot.
A coffee estate we run in Kitale, Trans-Nzoia County. We built MkulimaOS here because we had a problem: paper exercise books, WhatsApp voice notes, and guesswork for payroll. The system started as a personal fix. It became a product.
MkulimaOS now runs the full operational cycle at Mulinga. Supervisors check workers in via GPS-verified attendance — no ghost workers, no inflated headcounts. Task assignments are recorded by block and linked to individual piece-rate payroll. At month-end, payroll runs directly through M-Pesa from the same dashboard.
AI disease scouting lets field staff photograph a leaf and get an instant diagnosis and recommended treatment — Coffee Leaf Rust caught before it spreads across a block. Harvest traceability records cherry intake per worker per day with quality grading, building the export paper trail required for EU buyers (EUDR compliance). Finance ledgering captures every expense and budget line in real time — no more waiting for the farm manager's end-of-week report.

·NDAKenyan faith-based organization — internal tooling build.
A signed Phase 1 engagement with a Kenyan faith-based organization. The work covers internal operational tooling — administration, records, automation that fits their specific structure. NDA prevents naming the client or describing scope in public.
What we can say about the category: this is what custom software looks like for organizations that need something built for their structure, not adapted from a generic SaaS. The engagement model is fixed-scope, fixed-fee phases with full IP transfer on delivery.

We're selective about what we take on. Each project needs to be something we can build properly and stand behind. NDA before any specifics.
