Back-End Developer at Gjirafa, Inc. improving OTT APIs and media pipelines with async messaging, caching, and AI.

At Gjirafa, Inc., I maintain and evolve REST APIs across video, audio, and live-stream services for an enterprise OTT platform. I integrated Apache Pulsar for asynchronous messaging and introduced Redis caching to cut API latency.

I’ve also optimized concurrent audio batch pipelines, shipped transcription and text-to-video media pipelines using Gemini and other APIs, and built in-house CDN certificate automation with ZeroSSL. As a Fellow, Full-Stack Developer at LIFE from Gjirafa, I shipped features using ASP.NET Web API and React.js.
