Message

At Afriwork, I built AfriTest, an AI-powered CLI tool that analyzes Express, Node.js, and TypeScript projects and generates Jest tests. Integrating it into a CI/CD pipeline reduced manual testing effort by 60% and improved deployment reliability by 40%.

On MalaSafe, I built a full-stack malaria surveillance platform that used a LightGBM model for district-level outbreak risk prediction. I also led development of a distributed logistics system with three microservices, using event-driven communication to enable real-time shipment tracking and inventory synchronization.
