What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my skills in software development and contribute to meaningful projects.

I am a passionate software developer with a strong focus on creating scalable and high-performance web applications. My journey in software development began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from UNICAF University, where I honed my skills in various programming languages and frameworks. I have successfully designed and developed several platforms, including a women empowerment platform that increased engagement by 40% and a crowdfunding platform inspired by Kiva.org.

In my recent role at Betika, I developed high-performance backend microservices that supported over 50 million users, collaborating closely with Quality Assurance teams to enhance application usability. My experience also includes automating tasks and improving inter-service efficiency through the implementation of microservices and message brokers. I thrive in environments that challenge my technical abilities and allow me to contribute to impactful projects.
