What I'm looking for

I seek senior backend or platform roles where I can design scalable microservices, lead technical deliveries, improve system performance, and work in collaborative, quality-focused teams.

I am a senior software engineer with over 10 years building enterprise systems, financial platforms, and national-level healthcare solutions using Java, Spring Boot, and microservices. I focus on designing scalable architectures, optimizing relational databases, and integrating payment and messaging APIs.

I have led technical deliveries, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and applied Clean Architecture and SOLID principles to produce production-grade, high-performance systems. I have experience across cloud services (Google Cloud), containerization (Docker), and a broad testing and DevOps toolset.

My work spans backend and frontend development, Android integrations with OpenMRS, and payment gateway integrations (MPesa, Emola, card processors). I am results-driven, collaborative, and committed to software quality and performance.
