What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills in back-end development.

I am a certified Back-End Web Developer with hands-on experience in building RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework. My journey into software engineering began with a transition from IT and customer support, where I developed strong problem-solving skills and a client-first mindset. I am passionate about creating backend solutions that drive performance, usability, and real-world impact.

Throughout my education at ALX Academy, I honed my skills in Python programming, database management, and secure authentication. My capstone project, a Payment Gateway API, exemplifies my ability to design scalable systems and integrate third-party APIs. I am eager to leverage my technical expertise and collaborative spirit to contribute to innovative projects in the tech industry.
