Oracle database infrastructure
Installing and deploying Oracle Database Appliance and Oracle DB Systems in enterprise environments. This is where most of my technical work sits.
Based in Nairobi, Kenya
Hi, I'm Owen. I work with database infrastructure and enterprise platforms.
I'm a Graduate Management Trainee at Computech Limited. Most of my work is around installing and deploying Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) and Oracle DB Systems. I also spend time with Linux, containers, and the infrastructure that keeps things running.
What I work on
My main focus is database infrastructure. I also spend time learning and working with the platforms around it.
Enterprise platforms
Working with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Kubernetes, containers, and observability as part of a wider infrastructure stack.
Personal labs
Experimenting with deployment workflows and automation, including Pulse, a custom monitoring dashboard for my RHEL server.
Things I'm building
A few personal projects that have pushed me to learn something new. They're at different stages of development.
sb-hub
A Go CLI for creating, managing, and cleaning up temporary Docker-based development environments without the usual container setup hassle.

Wepesi
An in-progress rental billing and property management application, covering properties, tenants, leases, invoices, and payments.

H3LA
A personal finance automation idea for turning M-Pesa confirmations into more useful records and insights. Currently in the specification stage.

The project repositories are private, so these descriptions reflect the work rather than linking to inaccessible code.
A bit about me
I'm interested in the foundations that make technology work—the servers, databases, platforms, and processes behind the applications people use every day.
At Computech Limited, I'm learning through hands-on database infrastructure work. Outside the job, I like testing things in my own environment, figuring out why they break, and building tools that solve problems I've actually run into.
Get in touch.
Happy to connect about databases, infrastructure, personal projects, or an interesting idea you're working on.
