What I'm looking for

I’m comfortable with startup ambiguity and owning features from schema to deployment. I’m looking for work that supports remote, asynchronous collaboration.

At Athens Technology, I designed and built the backend for Lease Markets, a rental and property management platform covering listings, applications, leases, bookings, rent payments, and maintenance requests. I structured it across 24 Django apps and implemented JWT authentication with token revocation.

For a restaurant operations system, I built tools for kitchen orders, inventory, purchasing, waste tracking, and recipes. I delivered live updates with Django Channels and WebSockets, scheduled background jobs with Celery and Redis, and synced stock data with the client's Pastel accounting software.

At SaCip, I contribute to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central solutions across Financial Management, Loan Management, and HR & Payroll. I also assist with ERP implementation and configuration for clients.

My projects include map101, an internal Business Central location-mapping tool, and Edumark, a multi-tenant school management platform for Zambian schools. I also built LendLog, a lending record-keeping app, and a gym and membership platform for a client.
