What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build scalable full-stack, mobile, and AI-powered products, with ownership from architecture through deployment and opportunities to mentor engineers.

At Wazobia Technologies, I lead four engineers building React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Java, and .NET services for editorial and media-brand platforms. My work includes Kafka-based microservices, AI-powered RAG and semantic search features that increased content engagement and click-through by 30%, and CI/CD improvements that cut deployment time by 40%.

I've also shipped products end-to-end, including SubTrackr, a subscription-spend analytics platform, and Namy, a cross-platform restaurant discovery and rewards app. Across client projects for Jungle Creations, Afrilearn, and freelance clients, I've built web, mobile, CMS, financial, and data-heavy applications with a focus on reliable delivery, practical architecture, and measurable product outcomes.
