What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and allows for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a Senior Android Engineer with over 6 years of experience in building and scaling production-grade mobile applications across Africa. My expertise lies in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Clean Architecture, where I have successfully shipped offline-first features and integrated secure authentication flows. I thrive in Agile environments and am comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle, from architecture to deployment.

In my current role at Absa Group, I have architected and shipped business banking features, simplifying UI workflows by integrating Jetpack Compose into legacy codebases. My focus on delivering clean, maintainable code has led to improved CI/CD pipelines and enhanced collaboration with backend, product, and QA teams. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and defining internal standards for modular development, ensuring that our products are not only functional but also maintainable and scalable.
