What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-powered, real-time, cloud-native products with teams that value secure delivery, strong engineering practices, mentorship, and global-scale impact.

I build production-ready software across TechVenia's SciVenia and Mubazar platforms, improving real-time collaboration, payments, authentication, observability, and release reliability. I optimized Redis caching for 3x faster real-time messaging and delivered features across Laravel, React, Docker, Azure, and Stripe.

At CapacityDey Tech Club, I founded a developer community, mentored 50+ developers, and led a core team of 10+ while delivering GT Augment, a no-code AR platform, and BioMedigo, a hospital record tracker for Africa. I also architected secure AWS infrastructure with IAM, S3 encryption, API Gateway controls, GitLab CI/CD vulnerability scanning, and DevSecOps workshops.

I've led end-to-end technical delivery at GT Merch, built crypto payment products at CoinForBarter, and supported enterprise Azure deployments at Tek Experts. My work includes Scan-to-Pay, POS, a PHP merchant SDK, cloud cost optimization, incident resolution, and secure infrastructure automation.

I'm passionate about AI-powered applications, real-time systems, and software that scales globally. I enjoy translating business needs into practical technical solutions, mentoring engineers, and shipping reliable products people can use.
