What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build Django/REST applications, mentor learners, and lead community-focused tech initiatives in an inclusive, growth-oriented environment.

I am a Python developer with 2+ years of hands-on experience building Django and Django REST Framework applications and delivering scalable solutions for small businesses and communities.

As a committed educator and community leader, I have taught and mentored 100+ students, supervised capstone and competition projects, and founded the PyLadies Abia chapter to grow women’s participation in tech.

I combine technical proficiency (Python, Django, API development, deployment) with leadership and program management experience to drive learner outcomes, operational efficiency, and inclusive tech initiatives.
