## About

```text
I've spent 6+ years shipping production backend systems across healthcare, fintech, and e-commerce. At tecGrw, I built a multi-service healthcare platform from scratch and own features from technical design through deployment.

I design reliable APIs and data pipelines, including webhook integrations for SMS/IVR channels and Elixir/Phoenix microservices connecting device financing, ERP, and CRM systems at Samphone Rwanda Ltd. I've also integrated Anthropic and OpenAI APIs into production workflows with streaming responses, token budgeting, cost monitoring, and concurrent model calls.

Earlier, I delivered 15+ client web applications at Kitech and built tooling that reduced new-project setup time by roughly 40%. I enjoy strengthening teams through CI/CD, Docker, testing, API contracts, code review, and mentoring.
