What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a dynamic environment where I can leverage my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive innovation and deliver impactful software solutions.

I am a seasoned software developer with over a decade of experience in designing, developing, and deploying software solutions across various industries. My expertise spans both front-end and back-end development, with a strong focus on delivering high-quality results and driving continuous improvements in software development processes.

In my current role as Lead Systems Developer and ICT Consultant at NastarTech Solutions Limited, I have led the development of multiple front-end solutions using React Native and JavaScript, ensuring seamless user experiences across platforms. I have also optimized back-end solutions using Python and Django, improving system performance by 60%. My work has included integrating RESTful and GraphQL APIs, streamlining data exchange and improving real-time reporting capabilities.

Previously, as a Senior Web Developer at InsureAfrika Limited, I developed an AI-powered online insurance platform that leveraged machine learning for personalized quotations and instant policy issuance. I also integrated secure payment gateways and designed RESTful APIs for third-party integrations. My experience includes leading end-to-end project management, creating software documentation, and optimizing web applications using various programming languages and frameworks.
