Software engineer focused on scalable full-stack solutions and disciplined software quality assurance.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am an innovative software engineer with 3+ years building and optimising scalable, high-performance applications across ERP, POS, and inventory domains. I specialize in full-stack development using Laravel/Vue.js/PHP and Django/Kotlin/Python while maintaining disciplined QA practices.
I have designed and delivered high-performance RESTful APIs, Android applications, and enterprise systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams and using agile workflows to meet aggressive timelines. I have driven critical testing efforts that ensured business requirement compliance and prevented major production issues.
My hands-on experience spans backend, frontend, mobile, and QA — integrating third-party APIs, optimising data throughput with MySQL/SQLite, and using tools like Postman, Jira, Cypress, and Docker to streamline development and delivery. I have contributed to hospital management systems, POS/ERP solutions, and client-facing mobile apps.
I seek opportunities where I can apply my engineering rigor and quality-first mindset to design efficient, maintainable software that delivers measurable business value and supports team-driven continuous improvement.
