KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a backend-focused software developer with hands-on experience building Android and server-side solutions, plus a background in corporate banking relationship management. I shipped projects including a BMI Disease Tracker (Android Kotlin/Java) and a Smart Calculator (Kotlin), and I have strong Python and Java experience.
I pair technical expertise (Kotlin, Java, Python, shell scripting, MongoDB/SQL) with client-facing experience from Equity Bank, where I enrolled large customer volumes onto the EazzyBizz payroll platform, maintained data integrity, and collaborated with vendors such as Oracle. I bring disciplined process, mentoring experience, and a pragmatic approach to delivering reliable software and operational outcomes.
