What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in a dynamic tech environment.

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience delivering scalable, high-quality solutions across various industries, including fintech, healthcare, SaaS, and non-profit sectors. My expertise lies in backend development, API design, and cloud deployments, complemented by a strong ability to mentor teams and enhance user experiences through modern technologies and agile methodologies.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that have significantly improved user engagement and satisfaction. For instance, at Equity Bank Group, I delivered over 50 production releases with zero downtime and migrated more than 50,000 customers to a bilingual chatbot platform. My technical skills encompass a wide range of languages and frameworks, including TypeScript, Python, Angular, and Django, allowing me to build robust applications that meet diverse client needs.

I am passionate about leveraging AI technologies to create innovative solutions, as demonstrated by my leadership in developing an AI-powered developer assistant during the Tunga AI Hackathon. I am always eager to embrace new challenges and contribute to projects that push the boundaries of technology.
