Founded by Austin Obimbo in Nairobi, Kenya. We experiment with agentic AI, Web3, sustainable tech, healthcare intelligence, and real-world systems that create measurable good. From edge AI labs and autonomous agents to sustainable mobility and climate solutions; all built with the same founding-engineer mindset.

Five pillars that anchor everything we build.
AI Research Scientist | Software Engineer | Web3.0.
I specialize in building intelligent systems that people want. As a founding engineer, I thrive on delivering solutions quickly while training VLM models and exploring reinforcement learning for autonomous agents. I enjoy mentoring fellow developers and learning from them as well.
My focus is on architecting user-centric systems and developing agentic AI workflows that orchestrate tools, predict outcomes, and integrate real-time data. I've open-sourced classifiers and predictors on GitHub, contributed to code reviews across dozens of projects, and am continually pushing into edge AI, multimodal systems, robotics fundamentals, and Web3/crypto applications.
My career journey has taken me from programmer to software architect to product manager. I believe in learning from my mistakes..I founded the Obimbo Initiative to experiment with edge AI, agentic systems, sustainable technology, healthcare intelligence, energy and climate solutions.

I sold my first piece of software for $7,000, and it changed everything. I love building; solo projects, hackathons, or leading teams at scale. I consult on the side and speak on AI and decentralized finance. I'm a full-time "Iron Man" running personal agents that already help my workflow. My passion for cars fuels nyakuawhip.com, our premium car marketplace and rental platform. If you're interested, let's connect and create something people value.
