What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a healthcare-focused team where I can build secure, API-first products using Python/Django, modern front-end frameworks, and AI features—while mentoring others, owning architecture, and delivering scalable deployments.

I’m a full-stack web developer who builds secure, scalable healthcare applications—especially in high-stakes environments where trust and accuracy matter. I’ve led a 5-person team to deliver a Hedera Hashgraph Africa Hackathon MVP, architecting an AI and blockchain medication verification and traceability platform with immutable ledger workflows and QR/NFC authentication.

I also create patient-focused products like MediRemind, a healthcare PWA that improves medication adherence through scheduled reminders, push notifications, and caregiver alerts. In my backend roles, I used Python/Django and Django REST Framework to design API-first systems, integrate payment verification, optimize performance, and mentor junior developers to ship production-ready solutions.
