What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in backend development.

I am a dedicated Software Engineer with a strong focus on backend development, particularly using Python and its frameworks. My experience includes architecting scalable systems and integrating payment gateways, which has enabled me to streamline financial workflows and enhance user experiences across various platforms.

At Prismpay, I successfully delivered a payment automation platform that improved processing efficiency by 40% and reduced reconciliation time by 50%. My role involved not only backend development but also ensuring high availability and security of API endpoints. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of delivering production-ready solutions that align with best practices in software development.

With a solid foundation in computer science and hands-on experience in various projects, I am passionate about continuous learning and adapting to new technologies. I am eager to contribute my skills to innovative projects that challenge me and allow for professional growth.
