Experienced software engineer with expertise in full-stack development and embedded systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate software engineer with a strong background in full-stack development and embedded systems. Currently, I work at Uptimise, where I lead the development of a SaaS application for HR and payroll management in Africa. My technical expertise spans Python, Django, JavaScript, TypeScript, React.js, and microservices architecture.
In my previous roles, I contributed to various projects, including designing intelligent monitoring systems for solar installations and developing open-source libraries. I also enjoy community engagement, co-founding JSBenin and leading it as a community for JavaScript developers.
Continuous learning is important to me, as evidenced by my ongoing studies in low-level programming and Linux system programming. I am committed to professional growth and enjoy sharing knowledge through my blog and speaking engagements.
