What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a new challenge where I can contribute as a developer, whether working solo or as part of an engineering team. I enjoy working directly with clients, coordinating teams, and writing code.

At Good Fights, I designed, built, and operate a combat-sports rating platform across React Native apps and a Next.js website. It has grown to 3,600+ registered users, 79,000+ fight ratings, and 1,400+ written reviews.

I built its TypeScript/Node REST API with PostgreSQL and Prisma, along with scheduled jobs for data collection, enrichment, backups, and freshness checks. I also run its production environment with Docker, a Linux VPS, and Cloudflare R2.

At LGBT Voice Tanzania, I rebuilt an old WordPress site using a modern WordPress stack, making it easier for the organization to maintain. At Zerion Software, I adapted a mobile data-collection platform to client use cases, including GUI and JavaScript changes.

Earlier, I built and operated the interactive fight-rating app at Fighting Tomatoes, which evolved into Good Fights. Through freelance web development, I built and maintained business and WordPress/WooCommerce websites, and at WellnessLiving Systems Inc. I coordinated delivery of white-label mobile apps with clients and internal teams.
