What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable backend systems, lead strong engineering practices, and mentor developers while delivering reliable products in high-impact domains.

At Emote Care, I lead the backend team building telehealth microservices for patient messaging, scheduling, and sessions. Our Golang, Django, and NestJS services supported onboarding the first 500+ users and faster time to market.

I strengthened reliability by establishing unit and integration testing frameworks that reduced production defects by 70%. I also implemented Grafana and Prometheus monitoring, provisioned AKS infrastructure with Terraform and Helm, and automated Azure DevOps deployments to cut deployment time by 50%.

Previously, I built backend infrastructure and core services for LoadzPro, including machine-learning-driven trip planning, chat, payments, and load booking. I’ve also delivered underwriting and fraud-detection workflows for Kafene using Python, Django, distributed systems, and machine learning integrations.

I enjoy raising engineering standards through practical service patterns, observability, CI/CD, code review, and mentoring. As a technical lead at Enyata, I led four backend engineers delivering APIs and internal tools for fintech clients while improving reliability, merge velocity, and roadmap delivery.
