@tafadzwagonera
Experienced back-end software engineer specializing in Java and TypeScript.
I am an experienced back-end software engineer with a strong focus on building reliable and scalable systems. My expertise lies in Java and TypeScript, where I have successfully developed microservices architectures and messaging services that enhance operational efficiency. At TourAxis, I implemented the NATS messaging protocol, which significantly improved communication between NestJS microservices, and I developed a flexible installment payment service that reduced cart abandonment rates.
Throughout my career, I have consistently aimed to optimize processes and reduce operational costs. While working at Groundflr, I migrated our back-end from Heroku to AWS, which not only cut monthly costs but also enhanced the reliability of our continuous deployment process. My experience also includes automating premium collection services and streamlining client verification processes, which have led to improved efficiency and customer satisfaction.
With a solid educational background, including an MBA in Finance and Marketing and a BSc in Computer Science, I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and drive business success.
