I’m a senior backend engineer building microservices and REST APIs with Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Backend Engineer with 6+ years of implementing microservices and RESTful APIs using Java, Spring Boot, and Apache Kafka. I focus on building reliable backend services and clean integration paths that teams can ship and scale with confidence.
In GovTech, Insurance, and Telecom domains, I’ve led cross-functional efforts in Agile environments using Spring Cloud and Spring Data. I’ve delivered complete backend capabilities like Speaker Proceedings Module, Member BPM, and attendance-related functionality, including automated scheduling logic based on commute time, leave, and exemption constraints.
I’ve also driven engineering quality improvements through practices like trace ID-based logging. In recent work, I reduced average debugging time by 30% and improved code quality scores in SonarQube by 15%, while supporting third-party integrations for mission-critical applications.
Beyond backend development, I bring hands-on DevOps experience with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tooling, along with monitoring stacks like ELK. I’m energized by mentoring teams, owning API contracts end-to-end, and modernizing legacy systems using Spring Cloud and MySQL.
