eKapiti Platform
Booking and Visitor Platform, Kapiti Wildlife Conservancy
Software Engineer Intern (Lead Developer) · Jul 2025 - Mar 2026 · International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)
Led development of eKapiti for the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), covering booking flows, payments, and an offline map for the conservancy's field conditions.
Built booking flows for game drives, guesthouse stays and conservancy events, with dynamic pricing, availability checks and automatic confirmations.
Integrated M-Pesa STK Push and Paystack, with webhook verification, retries and reconciliation so payment state stayed correct through failed transactions.
Built an offline-first conservancy map with routes, live GPS and geofencing for use where there is no signal.
Added passwordless email-link login, transactional messaging through SendGrid and Twilio, and an admin dashboard showing bookings and revenue in real time.
This is a placeholder built from resume notes while the full write-up is in progress. Screenshots and a proper case study are coming.
