ABOUT

I am a software engineer who is passionate about building scalable and reliable software solutions. I have experience in building web applications, APIs, and mobile applications. I am proficient in JavaScript, TypeScript, ReactJS, NextJS, NestJS, NodeJS, C# .NET. I am also familiar with cloud technologies such as AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Currently, I am a software engineer at Xown Solutions, where I work on building software solutions that solve problems in the African tech ecosystem.

In the past, I've had to develop software across various industries such as finance, healthcare, education and e-commerce - from enterprise applications to consumer-facing applications.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being at the gym, swimming, or thinking about the next big thing I can build.
