What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a dynamic remote software development role where I can build innovative, user-centered web and data-driven solutions while applying my technical and analytical skills.

I've built data-driven web applications for KALRO, including a fertilizer recommender that uses soil and crop data to generate real-time recommendations for farmers and agricultural officers.

My work also includes a digital services renewal and expiry tracking system with dashboards, automated renewal reminders, role-based access, and audit-ready renewal histories. I developed a Laboratory Information Management System to improve sample traceability, laboratory workflows, research documentation, and reporting.

At LISH AI Labs, I developed responsive Django and Vue.js interfaces using Tailwind CSS, improving page-load speed and user engagement time by 33%. I also wrote reusable code, improved backend stability, conducted code reviews, and collaborated with a distributed remote team through GitHub.

During my data science attachment at Safra Data, I cleaned datasets, automated collection with Python, Pandas, and NumPy, and created visual reports that supported decisions across healthcare, political, and telecom work. I'm looking to bring my technical and analytical skills to a remote role building innovative, user-centered software.
