What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in decentralized technologies, with a focus on career growth and impactful projects.

I am a results-driven and innovative Software Engineer with 3 years of experience specializing in Web3 technologies, blockchain development, and cryptocurrency ecosystems. My expertise lies in designing and deploying decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and blockchain-based solutions. I am skilled in Solidity, Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript, and frameworks like Ethereum, Polkadot, and Solana. My passion for driving the adoption of decentralized technologies fuels my commitment to contributing to the evolution of the Web3 landscape.

In my current role as a Project Manager and Technical Lead at Maula Consultants, I lead a development team to build and scale a platform that connects brands with content creators. I have architected and implemented core APIs that have significantly boosted operational efficiency and platform stability. My previous experience as a DevOps Engineer at Starknet Foundation Africa involved automating code deployment and optimizing resource management, which enhanced team productivity. I am dedicated to delivering scalable, secure, and user-centric solutions through collaboration with cross-functional teams.
