What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I design scalable cloud-native backend systems, lead DevOps practices, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive cost-efficient, secure solutions with opportunities for growth.

I am a results-driven software engineer and DevOps specialist with over 5 years of experience building high-performance backend systems and cloud architectures across fintech, e-commerce, and transportation.

I have designed and implemented RESTful and SOAP services, led AWS migrations, configured 20+ cloud servers, and reduced cloud costs by 30% while achieving up to 97% system uptime.

My technical toolkit includes Java, .NET (C#), PHP, Python, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines; I apply security best practices such as OAuth2 and SSL/TLS to protect APIs and data.

I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, deliver customer-focused solutions across multiple African markets, and remain committed to continuous learning and operational excellence.
