What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build resilient financial systems, solve complex infrastructure challenges, scale engineering teams, and drive technology innovation across emerging markets.

At QuickerPay, I lead the architecture for core payment APIs, a customer mobile app, and an admin dashboard. I improved API latency by 35%, doubled throughput, integrated Visa and Mastercard issuing, and reduced duplicate charges by about 90%.

Across PaySika, Joolba, Imobbis, and other teams, I’ve built Django, Flask, and FastAPI systems for fintech, high-traffic web products, and health-tech. I enjoy leading end-to-end engineering across backend platforms, payments, cloud infrastructure, security, DevOps, and engineering teams.
