What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to build practical web applications, solve challenging technical problems, and grow through collaborative engineering work and mentorship.

I'm building web applications and sharpening my algorithmic problem-solving as a Software Engineering Trainee at Africa to Silicon Valley, a Google-backed program. I've solved 150+ LeetCode problems while practicing time- and space-complexity analysis.

I built CP-Lockin, a Firefox extension that tracks competitive programming activity across Codeforces and LeetCode using REST and GraphQL APIs. I also developed Otaku Paradise, a full-stack anime and manga discovery platform with real-time external API data, search, filtering, and browsing.

Beyond projects, I co-founded Developers Club and grew it to 200+ active members, mentoring students in programming fundamentals and hands-on development. I also founded and organized a Hackathon Club, hosting bi-weekly events focused on practical problem solving and rapid prototyping.
