What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can build scalable web applications, work in Agile teams, and apply MERN and WordPress expertise to education or social-impact projects.

I am a results-driven Full Stack Developer and WordPress specialist with proven experience building scalable web applications and custom WordPress platforms. I combine MERN-stack expertise (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) with advanced WordPress development—theme and plugin customization, Elementor, ACF Pro, and WooCommerce—to deliver high-performance, secure digital solutions.

I focus on scalable architecture, secure coding practices, and Agile collaboration, and I have built notable projects including a custom digital publishing WordPress platform, an LMS for African schools, and a secure RESTful API for school networks. I am passionate about applying technology to education and refugee support initiatives and continually expand my skills through hands-on programs and certifications.
