Self-taught developer with a passion for building impactful tools.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-taught developer with years of experience in building tools that help teams debug and ship products effectively. My journey has led me to work on various projects, both in a professional setting and as a freelancer, where I focus on solving real-world problems through technology.
At Broad Spectrum, I developed a cross-platform POS system using React Native, which significantly reduced manual reconciliation time by 40%. My work also involved optimizing real-time transaction handling, which increased reliability during peak usage. I take pride in my ability to transition applications to more efficient frameworks, as demonstrated by my migration of a utility app from Flutter to React Native, enhancing user experience and engagement.
In my freelance roles, I have rebuilt legacy systems and developed automated solutions that streamline workflows in healthcare settings. My commitment to improving operational efficiency and user interaction drives my projects, such as creating a health-focused AI chatbot and a pharmacy management system. I continuously seek to learn and explore new technologies, ensuring that I remain at the forefront of the development landscape.
