## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build reliable, scalable service platforms in backend engineering, system design, DevOps, GovTech, or fintech, with opportunities to improve API integrations, production reliability, observability, and deployment workflows.
```

## About

```text
I've built and maintained digital public-service workflows at Irembo, integrating APIs, transforming data, and delivering service logic across internal and external systems.

Previously, I developed Node.js and Express.js backend services at Andela and connected frontend applications to NestJS APIs at Consumatech Solutions, improving API design, error handling, and client-side data consumption.

I've also led DevOps work at BICT, deploying Python Flask services on DigitalOcean with Docker and Kubernetes while building CI/CD pipelines, monitoring infrastructure, and automating recurring operations.
