About

I’m a problem solver who treats simplicity as a weapon of strategy. Complex industries don’t need more software — they need clearer paths to value and execution. That’s what I build. As Founder & CEO of DevRoc, an infrastructure-first venture builder, I identify high-friction problems, build the core systems to solve them, and scale them into standalone businesses. Right now, that focus is Insure Platform — an end-to-end operating system for insurance distribution across Africa. We remove manual admin, accelerate quoting, unify client and policy data, and use practical AI (“Dave”) to automate routine work — so businesses can focus on growth and relationships. Highlights: Selected for BimaLab Africa 2025 Direct integrations across insurers for quotes, policies, and claims Growing adoption with independent intermediaries and scale-focused partners My approach is simple: understand reality, model the system, find the leverage point, then automate with precision. The result is software that’s faster to adopt, cheaper to run, and actually used. If you’re building in insurance or fintech and want less complexity, more clarity, and faster execution — let’s connect.
