I help businesses stop overpaying for procurement. I'm Annitah, a Certified Procurement Consultant based in Nairobi, Kenya, with 5+ years of experience working across NGOs, corporates, and government agencies across East Africa.
Here's what I've seen time and time again:
→ Businesses spending millions with no visibility into where the money goes
→ Vendor contracts that haven't been touched in years, quietly draining budgets
→ Teams making purchasing decisions with no policy, no process, and no protection
That's exactly what I fix.
Whether you need a full procurement audit, tighter supplier contracts, or a policy your team will actually follow, I bring the strategy, the structure, and the results.
If your procurement function could be working harder for you, let's talk.

Your client needs branding or packaging? Let’s collaborate.
I’m looking to connect with web designers, developers, project managers and independent studios whose clients need brand identity or packaging support.
I bring 11+ years of international experience, developing the visual direction and carrying it through to production-ready files.
For new client introductions, I’m offering a 10% referral fee on the first project’s design fees actually paid, after any discount. We agree the referral terms in writing before the introduction, and payments follow cleared client payments.
I’m also open to working as your design partner while you manage the client relationship.
I work entirely asynchronously, without calls or meetings, through written briefs, shared files and feedback.
Have a project or client in mind? Message me here.

Agreeing the referral terms in writing before the intro is the step most people skip. I run a similar setup for presentation work, so it's nice to see it spelled out this clearly.
SaaS MVP Scope & Cost Estimator | Lead Qualification & Intake System
The Challenge: Early-stage SaaS founders and product agencies often waste weeks navigating manual inquiry cycles and discovery calls just to map out MVP requirements and sprint budgets.
The Solution: I designed and built an interactive MVP Scoping Engine. This system enables founders to select required platform features—such as multi-tenant authentication, recurring subscription billing, AI API integrations, and admin role permissions—and receive real-time cost and timeline estimates instantly.
Key Features:
Dynamic real-time pricing and sprint timeline calculator
Categorized feature selector (Auth, Core Plumbing, AI, Admin Ops)
Automated MVP Production Brief generation for instant lead qualification
The generated MVP brief is the part I'd steal. Do founders get it as a PDF they can forward to a co-founder, or does it stay in the browser?
A few people have asked how I built up on Contra and started landing clients, so rather than reply one by one, here's what's actually worked for me. This is for anyone just getting going.
I'm still early myself, so take this as what's moved the needle so far, not a victory lap.
Show the work instead of describing it. The moment I started posting real case studies and short demo videos, things like AI agents handling document intake, approvals and invoice reconciliation with a human in the loop, the conversations changed. Clients stop asking "can you?" and start asking "can you do this for us?" Even two or three strong, well-presented projects beat a long list of skills. People hire what they can see.
Pick a lane. I stopped pitching "full-stack generalist" and leaned into what I'm genuinely best at, which for me is agentic AI, MCP and multi-tenant SaaS. A sharp, specific profile pulls in the right clients and filters out the wrong fits.
Prove it in every application. Don't just say "I can do this." Point to the closest thing you've already built and show how it maps to their problem. That's what earns trust fast.
Treat AI as an accelerator, not a shortcut. I build with AI every day, but I own and review everything it produces. Senior judgment plus AI speed is what lets a small team ship like a big one.
Be genuinely easy to work with. Reply quickly, be clear, and do what you said you'd do. Clear, fast communication closes more work than any single skill, and early 5-star reviews are what get you the next ten.
Treat your profile as more than a job board. My Contra profile has brought in work well beyond the platform itself. People have found me through it, and that's turned into ongoing engagements through our agency, TechFoundry Digital. A strong, public body of work follows you everywhere. It's a credibility asset, not just a place to apply.
The start is the hardest part, so take the smaller jobs, do them really well, and let the reviews compound. Happy to answer anything, so drop a question below or DM me.
