What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

As a Full Stack Engineer with over 6 years of experience, I have a proven track record of building scalable applications for both US organizations and fast-growing platforms in Africa. My expertise lies in Node.js and React, complemented by a strong foundation in AI/ML integrations. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills to create impactful solutions.

In my recent role as a Senior Software Engineer at ABHMS, I developed critical modules for a US-based platform, focusing on real-time communication and content safety. My work included integrating AI-based content moderation and building a robust real-time messaging infrastructure. I am passionate about optimizing user experiences and have successfully implemented frontend caching and UI patterns that significantly improved load speeds.

Throughout my career, I have led various projects, including the development of a cross-platform PWA for teaching sign language and a custom geolocation service that enhanced routing precision. I am dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, always seeking opportunities to innovate and drive success in my projects.
