## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to bring my ability to learn new frameworks and languages quickly to a C#/.NET, WPF, and React Native stack.
```

## About

```text
At Hexon Solutions Limited, I build and maintain scalable backend applications and REST APIs for web and mobile clients using Node.js, Django, and FastAPI. I design authentication flows, relational databases, third-party integrations, and event-driven background processing with Celery and Redis.

Previously, I delivered MERN applications at Adclickgo LLC and responsive React and TypeScript interfaces at Skyworld Community Innovation Transport Africa. I bring over five years of experience across full-stack development, production deployments, automated testing, cloud services, and remote Agile collaboration, and I’m eager to apply my adaptability to C#/.NET, WPF, and React Native work.
