What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my technical skills while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in developing innovative solutions that enhance user engagement and improve system performance. Currently, I serve as a Senior Software Engineer at Discovery - Entelect, where I have successfully led the development of custom iOS and Android features, significantly reducing app crashes and increasing user interaction. My expertise in implementing microservices has improved system scalability and response times, showcasing my ability to adapt and thrive in fast-paced environments.

Previously, I worked as a Software Engineer at Old Mutual - Entelect, where I translated Figma designs into functional user interfaces using SwiftUI and UIKit. My contributions included developing robust validation logic that reduced error rates and implementing Firebase analytics to enhance marketing strategies. My journey in software development began at Africom, where I honed my skills in backend development and cross-platform integration, laying a solid foundation for my career.
