What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills.

I am a UX Designer and Software Engineer with a passion for creating intuitive, user-centered designs and developing efficient, high-quality software solutions. My experience includes analyzing the role of policy influencers in shaping industry guidelines and societal expectations during my externship at NRG Market Research. I thrive on teamwork and strategy, bringing my love for soccer and being an Arsenal fan into every project I undertake.

Currently, I am pursuing a B.Sc. in Software Engineering at the African Leadership University, where I have developed full-stack web applications, ensuring that both frontend and backend functionalities are optimized. My collaborative approach has allowed me to work effectively with cross-functional teams to design and implement user-friendly interfaces, integrating third-party APIs and tools to deliver seamless solutions.
