I'm Simon Juma,
AI Architect & Cloud Engineer
Software Engineer (also known as Simon Ombom) specializing in Agentic RAG Pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). I bridge the gap between autonomous AI and resilient, robust cloud systems—delivering scalable solutions across health, agriculture, and education technology in Africa.
The Engineer Behind The Code
The Journey
Hey, I'm Simon Juma (also known as Simon Ombom)—a Kenyan software engineer who transforms complex problems into elegant digital solutions. From the classrooms of Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT) to architecting cloud-native systems, my path has been driven by one question: How can technology uplift Africa?
The Craft
I specialize in Agentic AI systems powered by RAG pipelines, where autonomous agents make intelligent decisions. My expertise spans Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), AWS cloud architecture, and Node.js/MERN stack development. I don't just write code—I engineer self-healing, scalable systems that think.
The Mission
Every line of code I write serves a purpose: democratizing technology for Africa. From AI-powered health diagnostics to smart agriculture platforms and educational tech innovations, I build systems that bridge the digital divide. My work touches lives across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and beyond.
The Vision
I'm not just seeking a job—I'm looking for partnerships that challenge conventions. Whether as a Senior Software Engineer, AI/ML Engineer, Cloud Architect, or Engineering Manager, I bring a unique blend of technical depth and strategic thinking. Let's build the future of African tech together.
