What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth, where I can leverage my full-stack development skills to contribute to impactful projects.

With over 6 years of professional experience as a full-stack developer, I specialize in creating high-quality, production-grade bespoke solutions. Currently, I work at Aptive Environmental, where I am part of the SOAT team responsible for maintaining and enhancing critical projects such as the Customer Portal and Sales Planning Tool. My role as the Primary Tech Owner for these projects involves debugging and ensuring smooth production operations, making me the first point of contact for any issues that arise.

Throughout my career, I have successfully fixed numerous issues and added valuable features to existing projects, including expanding appointment scheduling options and migrating services to Next.js. I am also an active contributor to Aptive's Aspyn initiative, where I have made significant contributions to various features. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my achievements, such as being a top scorer in the LinkedIn Skill Assessment for PHP and being a finalist for the Google Africa Developer Scholarship Program.
