What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote Senior Full-Stack, Laravel, React/TypeScript, Flutter, or Backend/Data Engineer role, full-time or on a long-term contract. I'm interested in fintech, regtech/KYC, e-commerce and business systems, non-profit/impact, and logistics, and I'm open to US, EU/UK, or Africa time zones. I'm avoiding roles that require relocation.

At Veritas Interactive, I build features for CreditBridge Zambia, a credit reference bureau platform, spanning credit searches, reports, scorecards, and data-governance tools. I develop React and TypeScript portal modules alongside Laravel APIs.

As primary developer for VerifyKYC, I built a Laravel API that verifies National ID numbers against government NIRA/IRAS systems. I fixed verification write races and stopped failed NIRA calls from being recorded as completed verifications.

At FoodCloud, I delivered the Charity Slot Filler donation-automation engine, from its Laravel service and schema to foodbank controls and a Vue front end. I also diagnosed and fixed a slow query on a 21.4M-row donations table.

My work also includes Flutter mobile apps for GreenChain and RevuePro, and Uganda Revenue Authority EFRIS e-invoicing integration. I work remotely and am available for full-time or contract roles after my FoodCloud contract ends in October 2026.
