What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my software engineering skills while contributing to impactful projects in a collaborative environment.

I am a hands-on, highly competent software engineer with over 9 years of experience designing, programming, and testing software across various platforms. My journey has taken me through numerous projects from concept to completion, where I have honed my skills in C# and ASP.NET, ensuring that I code to consistently high standards. I take pride in my ability to stay updated with ongoing developments in the tech industry, which has allowed me to add revenue management to my skill set, focusing on revenue generation and management.

In addition to my technical expertise, I am a trained communication expert and a diplomat with a strong interest in world peace, political stability, and unity. My educational background includes a Master's in International Affairs and Strategic Studies from the Nigeria Defence Academy and a degree in Mass Communication from the University of Jos. I have also gained valuable experience in various roles, from ICT Officer to Programmes & ICT Manager, where I have successfully managed teams and projects while contributing to the growth of organizations.
