What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers opportunities for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am an accomplished Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience in designing and delivering scalable web applications, RESTful APIs, and system integrations, particularly in the fintech and HRMS domains. My expertise lies in building secure, high-performance backends with a strong focus on test-driven development (TDD), CI/CD automation, and application security best practices.

Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to lead complex projects from concept to deployment, driving efficiency and long-term maintainability. At Checkoff Finance Ltd, I built a secured loan management system that handles over 50,000 monthly transactions, and developed an HRMS platform that automates payroll and employee management. My work at ITEX Integrated Services involved creating a high-traffic VAS platform that integrates over 15 payment APIs, processing more than 2 million monthly transactions.
