What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in web and backend development, preferably in a collaborative environment that values innovation and growth.

As a passionate Software Developer with over six years of experience, I specialize in creating robust web applications and backend systems. My expertise spans a range of programming languages and frameworks, including Python, PHP, C#, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Dart. I have successfully led the development of various projects, integrating payment gateways and designing cross-platform mobile apps that enhance user experience.

In my current role at Tools DiscoveryAmbulance Services, I implemented a USSD platform using Python and AWS, achieving 99.9% uptime. I also designed onboarding flows with multiple SMS and payment gateways, reducing onboarding time by 10%. My work with Flutter and Laravel has resulted in significant cost savings and improved efficiency for the company.

Previously, at VAKA & Chromadek Centre, I collaborated on integrating new features and ensuring API compatibility. I provided technical support and trained staff, promoting a culture of IT compliance and security. My solutions boosted online sales by 30% through website optimization. I thrive in diverse environments, working independently or collaboratively to deliver innovative solutions.
