What I'm looking for

I am looking for a full-time remote role that allows me to leverage my procurement and logistics expertise while continuing to grow my skills in backend software engineering.

I am a proactive and analytical Procurement & Logistics Associate with over 2.5 years of experience in supplier coordination, finance, and order management. My proven ability to manage cross-border logistics and collaborate remotely with international teams has equipped me with the skills to resolve technical issues with precision. I have a strong background in SAP MM, QuickBooks, Sage, Excel, and Jira, which has allowed me to excel in supplier negotiations, invoice verification, and streamlining processes.

Currently, I am pursuing backend software engineering through ALX, focusing on Python, Git, and REST APIs to enhance tech-enabled operations. My recent role as a Logistics and Customer Service Officer at X-Solar Systems has further honed my skills in managing international shipments and coordinating procurement operations across Kenya and Zimbabwe. I thrive in dynamic environments and am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.
