Context
Kilindi District Council manages a large base of local traders whose licences, renewals and debts previously depended on fragmented follow-up. The system consolidates these processes into one accountable platform.
Data handling
Trader records are imported and validated from TAUSI exports. The system works with imported data rather than a direct TAUSI API connection.
- Structured import with validation rules
- Duplicate and integrity checks before persistence
- Audit logging for administrative accountability
Delivery & operations
Beyond development, I supported cloud deployment on MonkeysCloud, resolved DNS and SSL configuration issues and handled production migration troubleshooting to reach a live test deployment.
