I am a results-driven Software Engineer with three years of experience specializing in backend and mobile development. My proficiency in Java (Spring Boot), Flutter, and API development has enabled me to optimize system performance and develop scalable applications. I have a proven track record of enhancing system reliability and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed RESTful APIs and backend microservices, automated deployment workflows, and integrated payment gateways. My experience at Bitnine Global Inc allowed me to contribute to Apache AGE, enhancing backend testing efficiency through Python automation tools. I am passionate about writing efficient, maintainable code and continuously improving software performance.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging environment that fosters growth and innovation.
