Let us work together

I'm currently based in Embu, Kenya, freelancing and collaborating on open-source projects when I'm not knee-deep in code. I believe in writing code that speaks for itself—and maybe sipping some strong Kenyan coffee while I'm at it.

Let’s build something powerful—whether it’s your next product, a polished integration, or a passion project that deserves the right tech hands.

UnHash - Mpesa phone number decoder

🔓 UnHash – Decode M‑Pesa Hashes in a Snap

Why UnHash Exists
In the wake of Kenya’s Data Protection Act, phone numbers began arriving from Safaricom’s Daraja API as SHA‑256 hashes instead of plain text—great for privacy, but a real headache when you still need to send SMS alerts, generate receipts, or validate users. Enter UnHash: your developer-friendly key to unlocking those hashes instantly

How It Works
- Send a SHA‑256 hash to our REST API.
- Get the original MSISDN back—securely and in real time.
- Works with curl, PHP, Python, Node.js, Go, and more—plug it into your backend effortlessly

Flexible Pricing for Every Stage
Pay‑As‑You‑Go: Just Ksh 0.30 per decoded hash—ideal for light or sporadic use
Unlimited Subscription Plans: Get peace of mind with capped pricing—Bronze (15 days/300 KES), Silver (10 days/200 KES), Gold (30 days/500 KES), or Platinum (90 days/1,200 KES)
