What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can apply my skills in software engineering and DevOps to contribute to impactful projects.

I am a motivated Computer Science graduate with hands-on experience in backend development, system support, and cloud technologies. My journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in various programming languages and frameworks, including Java, Spring Boot, and React. I have a keen interest in DevOps practices and systems reliability, which drives my commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in technology.

During my industrial attachment at Systech Africa, I honed my skills in backend development and gained practical experience in building user interfaces and financial systems. I also designed CI/CD pipelines and practiced incident management in cloud environments, specifically using Google Cloud Platform. My passion for technology extends beyond coding; I actively engage in tech advocacy, producing awareness videos that highlight global justice issues.
