Applied AI and business systems, shipped to production.
About
I’m Alfred Muriu, a full-stack developer based in Nairobi, Kenya, studying Informatics and Computer Science at Strathmore University. I build business systems and applied-AI products, from ERPs for construction, manufacturing and processing companies to property management and poultry software. I also build systems where the details have consequences: inventory has to reconcile, costing has to add up, and payments have to clear.
I’m a co-founder of Selene Study OS, where I build the backend and the infrastructure behind personalised exam preparation for Kenyan university students. I’ve also built agritech software for Agrikima and digitised STEM course material for the Open University of Kenya. Before software, mathematics was my thing: I represented Kenya at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2023 and 2024, after being selected from about 8,000 students. I still think the best software starts with a problem worth solving and a constraint that can’t be ignored.
Projects
Construction ERP
Visit ↗End-to-end ERP for construction firms — projects and phases, bill of quantities, procurement, subcontractor and labour tracking, and cost-against-budget reporting. The vertical I know best, built out fully rather than as a demo.
MillFlow — Processing ERP
Visit ↗ERP module for processing operations: intake batches, yield tracking through processing stages, stock movements and dispatch. Deployed on Vercel and built on the same shared platform as the other verticals.
Manufacturing ERP
Visit ↗Manufacturing vertical on the same ERP platform — production orders, bill of materials, work centres and inventory — built UI-complete with seeded data to test the workflow with operators before committing to the backend.
Selene Study OS
Visit ↗AI study assistant for university students, co-founded and backend-owned. A per-student knowledge graph, spaced repetition for exam prep, and a hybrid AI routing system across Claude, OpenAI, Gemini and Ollama that keeps the cost per student low enough to stay affordable at scale.
Agrikima AI Suite
Production AI tooling for an agricultural supplements company: a marketing agent that researches and publishes to five social platforms on a schedule, a WhatsApp Cloud API chatbot, and an automated blog pipeline for SEO content.
agrikima.co.ke
Visit ↗The company website, built and shipped end to end — product catalogue, on-page SEO, and the blog that the content pipeline publishes into. Iterated directly off marketing team feedback.
Feed Formulation Software
A least-cost feed formulation tool paired with a farmer data collection system, built to support on-the-ground agricultural decision-making and streamline field data capture.
Farm Stories
A 13-episode AI-generated documentary series on broiler and layer farm outcomes, delivered as 9:16 cuts for Meta ad placements and 16:9 for long-form. Scripted, generated and edited end to end on a repeatable six-scene template.
