Experienced software engineer focused on user and developer experience.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
With 13 years of experience as a software engineer, I have honed my skills across various technologies, including Ruby on Rails, React, and Elixir. My journey has taught me that successful software development hinges on a balance between user experience and developer experience, both of which are crucial for creating high-quality, efficient, and innovative solutions.
In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer at Kindbody, I have successfully reduced our project's codebase by 30% and significantly improved application reliability by decreasing error rates from 2,000 to 300 per day. My commitment to accessibility has led to the implementation of WCAG compliance initiatives, ensuring our platform is usable for everyone. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can work closely with design and development teams to drive impactful changes.
Throughout my career, I have consistently advocated for best practices, such as automated testing, to enhance application stability and performance. My diverse experience across various industries, including non-profits and tech startups, has equipped me with a unique perspective on the importance of adaptability and innovation in software engineering.
