What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in software development.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with a strong focus on backend development and microservices architecture. Currently, I am part of Data Integrated Limited, where I lead the engineering of robust distributed systems aimed at digitizing the transport and mobility industry. My recent projects include the development of a Kafka Engine service for real-time data processing and the creation of Payment Gateway microservices, which have significantly improved system efficiency and collaboration among developers.

Previously, I worked at Quantum Technology PLC, where I architected a scalable Lending System that integrated with multiple bank APIs, enhancing loan processing efficiency by 30%. My experience spans various roles where I have successfully implemented CI/CD pipelines, optimized database queries, and mentored junior developers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and drive innovation in the software development landscape.
