What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build backend-heavy full-stack products where security, clean API design, and performance matter—teams that value fast iteration, good documentation, and measurable improvements in reliability and user experience.

I’m a backend-focused full-stack software engineer who builds secure, high-performance web products. At Pima Health, I designed and shipped an agentic chatbot application for biomedical and educational use cases, owning backend architecture, API design, and conversation workflows.

I strengthen reliability and scalability through practical system design. I implemented asynchronous task processing with Celery + Redis for long-running operations, built a secure Inbox messaging API for static pages, and added honeypot protection and server-side validation to reduce bot submissions and improve data quality.

Before that, I supported fast-moving engineering teams by shipping production-ready backend features. I co-developed a SaaS-style CMS for automated newsletters (cutting manual publishing time by 50%), integrated Cloudinary to reduce image load failures by ~90%, and implemented secure authentication with JWT + OTP; I also built e-commerce backend features like discount pricing logic, RBAC, and Flutterwave payment flows while optimizing database queries for faster responses. I bring the same performance and security mindset to projects like EcoGather’s QR-based digital event platform and my framework-agnostic Inbox Messaging widget (script + API) that turns static sites into interactive experiences without blocking page load.
