What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can architect scalable, secure cloud systems, lead migrations to containerized infrastructure, and build resilient CI/CD pipelines in collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a software developer with 6+ years' experience designing scalable cloud architectures, full-stack applications, and enterprise-grade security solutions. I have led high-concurrency system builds supporting 700,000+ users, migrated legacy infrastructure to containerised environments, and integrated secure payment gateways and enterprise APIs.

Certified in AWS, Azure, and CompTIA Security+, I work with Java, Kotlin, Python and modern frameworks like Spring Boot, React and Django. I prioritize automation, resilience, and secure deployments—delivering zero-downtime disaster recovery, robust CI/CD pipelines, and hardened mobile and backend systems.
