What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a software engineering role where I can solve complex problems, build reliable web applications and APIs, learn from mentorship, and share knowledge with others.

I've contributed to NovaFleet as a React and Django developer, leading a frontend migration to TanStack Router and integrating WhatsApp notifications through Elora Tech for real-time driver communication.

On the backend, I drove NovaFleet's migration to Celery with Django REST Framework, improving reliability and enabling asynchronous background jobs at scale. At Prime Devs, I built and maintained PHP RESTful APIs, connecting databases and third-party services for client-facing web applications.

I also build production-ready APIs and full-stack applications with FastAPI and Django. I'm motivated by using software to solve complex problems, writing clean, robust code, continuously learning, and sharing knowledge with others.
