What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, focusing on impactful software solutions.

I am a dedicated software developer with extensive experience in creating robust backend services and mobile applications. Currently, I work at eKitabu, where I developed the eKitabu Portal, enhancing educational outcomes through real-time analytics and a responsive user interface. My expertise in .Net and C# has allowed me to build scalable architectures that support smart device management for schools.

Previously, I contributed to Microsoft, automating infrastructure processes and developing latency tracking systems for routers. My journey began at iConnect Technologies, where I created mobile applications for healthcare, integrating seamlessly with existing systems. My academic background in Robotics from the University of Birmingham has further enriched my technical skills, enabling me to tackle complex challenges in software development.
