What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead integrations and fiscalization projects, mentor teams, and deliver secure, high-impact enterprise systems.

I am a Senior Software Developer with over six years of experience delivering enterprise-grade applications, leading small development teams, and guiding complex ERP integrations. I focus on designing scalable solutions that streamline operations and support fiscal compliance.

At the Zambia Revenue Authority I led a team on the Smart Invoice Project, managed deployments and sandbox environments, and acted as the primary technical liaison for large mining clients during ERP integrations. I built modules such as penalty charging and optimized critical system performance.

Previously, I served as Software Developer and Team Lead at Copperbelt University and Sampay/Samfuel, where I delivered audit, investigations, and selectivity modules, optimized processing engines, and developed in-house payment and operational systems. I have a track record of reducing processing time and memory consumption through targeted optimizations.

I hold a Degree in Information Technology and certifications including Certified Ethical Hacker, Certified Application Security Engineer, and Oracle Database 12c training. I bring strong technical leadership, a security-aware mindset, and a commitment to cross-functional collaboration to every project.
