What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend-focused roles where I can build scalable APIs and microservices, improve observability and CI/CD, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable production systems.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with hands-on experience designing and maintaining scalable RESTful APIs and microservices using Python frameworks such as FastAPI and Django REST Framework. I build reliable, observable systems—implementing event-driven architectures, optimizing database queries, and improving deployment pipelines with Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions to support large user bases.

I collaborate cross-functionally with system administrators, developers, and researchers to deliver production-grade solutions, and I have delivered projects like a containerized event-driven email migration system from Zimbra to Office 365. I hold a Physics bachelor's degree from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Meta Back-End & Database Engineer certifications.
