What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my skills in software development to create impactful solutions.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a passion for developing innovative solutions in both backend and frontend technologies. My journey began with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Babcock University, where I developed a keen interest in creating impactful software. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various roles, from a Frontend Developer to a Senior Frontend Engineer, and now as a Backend Engineer.

At Softgem, I lead the development of a mobile banking solution, where I architect and implement core backend micro-services using Kotlin and Microsoft SQL Server. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless feature rollout and mentoring junior developers to foster a culture of quality and scalability. My experience at Pexels as a Senior Frontend Engineer allowed me to guide the creation of user-centric features, optimizing analytics and enhancing user interactions, which significantly improved the onboarding journey for new contributors.

With a strong foundation in both frontend and backend technologies, I am committed to delivering high-quality software solutions that meet user needs and drive business success. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.
