I am a dedicated Software Engineer with a strong commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the demands and expectations of clients. My experience spans various roles, where I have successfully contributed to the success of organizations by enhancing customer value while ensuring profitability.

Throughout my career, I have held positions as a Senior Software Engineer, where I led backend development teams to create robust applications and streamline deployment processes. Notably, I designed and deployed the backend for the Zimdoc EMR App, serving over 1000 users, and implemented a CI/CD pipeline that reduced deployment time by 72%. My expertise in backend architecture and API development has enabled me to create secure and efficient systems for various businesses.

In addition to my technical skills, I am passionate about mentoring and leading teams.
