@tatendadenniskabanda
I build secure cloud-native APIs, AI agents, and data pipelines on Azure and Google Cloud.
What I'm looking for
I've built secure Python, Azure, and AI solutions across production APIs, ETL pipelines, and agentic workflows. At Cyber Security Institute, I increased ETL throughput by 35%, reduced data-quality issues by 40%, and helped maintain 99.9% system availability.
I manage Azure App Service, Key Vault, and App Configuration environments, and I automate delivery with GitHub Actions, Pytest, and infrastructure-as-code practices. I've also integrated PayPal using secure webhooks, idempotency controls, and protected credential management.
My project work includes Sauti ya Mwananchi, a second-place Google AI Hackathon multi-agent civic platform built with Google ADK, Gemini, Vertex AI Search RAG, FastAPI, WhatsApp, SMS, and USSD. I also developed agent-driven FastAPI platforms using LangGraph, Azure AI Foundry, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic, and OpenAPI specifications.
At ALX Africa, I've mentored more than 50 data professionals in Python, SQL, analytical workflows, and machine-learning deployments. I enjoy translating business problems into structured, practical technical solutions.
