What I'm looking for

I’m looking to collaborate with a team that builds cutting-edge projects. I want opportunities where I can take ownership of backend development, strengthen security and reliability, and keep growing through continuous learning and code reviews.

I’m a passionate Software Developer with 3 years experience, and I’m eager to contribute my software engineering skills to an innovative team. I thrive on strong coding fundamentals, problem-solving, and continuous learning as I build and improve real products.

As a Backend Developer at PQICT Solutions (Mar 2025 - Present), I integrated third-party services to expand functionality, and I conduct code reviews to improve code quality and maintainability. I also developed robust security protocols to safeguard user data effectively, while collaborating with frontend teams for seamless user experiences.

Earlier, as a Software Engineer Intern at National Space Research and Development Agenecy (NASRDA) (Apr 2025 - Sept 2025), I conducted rigorous testing to ensure software reliability and quality. I gained hands-on experience with microcontrollers and real-time systems, and I implemented efficient algorithms that reduced processing time by 30%.

At Hunnovate (Aug 2024 - Mar 2025), I integrated cutting-edge technologies and worked cross-functionally to improve project delivery speed. I designed scalable solutions that accommodated 7K+ users, and I’ve strengthened my backend and system-level foundation through the ALX Software Engineering Programme (Holberton School), plus ongoing Electrical and Electronics Engineering studies.
