What I'm looking for

I'm open to opportunities where I can combine strong engineering skills, AI-assisted development, and leadership to build scalable products that improve user experience and deliver real-world business impact.

I've delivered enterprise software at SICS IT Outsourcing, including a Knowledge Management Platform for the African Union, while leading teams of 5–10 developers and managing delivery from requirements through deployment. I also built SaaS systems at CloudX for multinational clients including Versace, ADTran, and Nestle.

Across BawsHuman, Talentral/ZippyApp, and Whales Technology, I've developed web and mobile products, including Pairgap's production-ready Android and iOS app and beta waitlist system. I use Claude and Cursor to generate, debug, and evaluate code, and at Eaglepoint AI I create training data, reasoning workflows, and real-world coding scenarios that improve LLM performance.
