What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can grow my skills and contribute to innovative projects.

As a Junior Software Engineer, I specialize in designing scalable and efficient solutions that adapt to the ever-changing technological landscape. My journey began with a B.Sc. in International and Diplomatic Studies, which I completed in 2023, and has since evolved into a passion for software development. I have honed my skills through practical experience at JARSOFT ICT Solutions Limited, where I developed and maintained backend services using Java (Spring Boot) and Node.js.

During my time at Semicolon Africa, I participated in a comprehensive software engineering bootcamp, where I gained expertise in full-stack development, including technologies such as React, Python, and RESTful APIs. I successfully built and optimized APIs, improving response times by 30%, and implemented robust security measures for user authentication. My collaborative work with frontend teams has allowed me to integrate applications seamlessly, enhancing user experiences across various platforms.
