About Me
Crafting Digital Excellence
With over 7 years of experience in software engineering, I specialize in building robust, scalable applications in the telecommunication and financial services sectors, primarily in Africa. I lead development of analytical dashboards and back-end financial data systems.
I'm passionate about mentoring junior developers to quickly upskill and follow best practices. The principles I've learned from the Bhagavad Gita—focus, dedication, and detachment from outcomes—have shaped my approach to engineering and leadership.
