What I'm looking for

I seek backend/full-stack roles at collaborative, growth-oriented teams where I can build scalable systems, improve CI/CD, and apply cloud and computer vision expertise.

I am a software developer who blends creativity with technical expertise to design and build innovative, user-friendly applications that solve real-world problems.

I have delivered backend and full-stack systems across fintech, streaming, and enterprise environments, applying Python, TypeScript, Django, React and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) to automate workflows and optimize performance.

My career includes contributions at LiveArena Technologies, Viaplay Group, Goldman Sachs, Andela and other firms where I refactored legacy systems, implemented CI/CD improvements, wrote extensive automated tests, and participated in system design and code review processes.

I value collaborative teams, maintainable code, and measurable impact — I focus on scalable solutions, reliable documentation, and continuous improvement to turn ideas into production-ready software.
