I am a seasoned software engineer with a strong background in core software engineering principles, gained from the ALX Software Engineering Diploma and my time as a self-taught software developer. My extensive work experiences and technical knowledge make me a good fit for various roles, including Backend Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, and Solutions Architect.

I have further deepened my technical knowledge and systems thinking abilities by working as a Software Architect, building software systems with software engineers in a collaborative capacity. I have a strong understanding of technology stacks, including AWS, VCS - Git via Github, OS - Linux(Primary) and Windows(previous), and Cisco Networking.

I am passionate about building innovative solutions and have worked on various projects, including a Recruitment Management System, Chess Logic, and a Custom HTTP Load Balancer. I am excited to leverage my skills and experience to drive innovation and growth in a new role.
