What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable developer tools and reliable systems, work across full‑stack and DevOps, and contribute to production services while continuing to learn and grow.

I am a full‑stack software engineer focused on building developer tools, scaling systems, and delivering reliable applications that solve real‑world logistical challenges. I have experience taking products from concept to production and operating secure VPS environments with high uptime.

At Nyanhewe Primary School I architected and deployed a full‑stack fees management portal and school website using Next.js, Express, and MongoDB, digitizing records for 1,200+ students and improving bookkeeping efficiency by 80%. I have containerized client applications, automated infrastructure monitoring, and led server migrations with zero data loss.

I contribute open source (including a TypeScript sync engine and an SEO utility package), build ML and computer vision solutions (XGBoost, Zindi competition ranking), and am developing an enterprise email solution in TypeScript. I value practical, secure systems that improve operational efficiency and developer experience.
