About Me
Languages
I'm a full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience building and shipping scalable web and mobile applications. I thrive in cross-functional teams and have delivered products used by thousands of users across East Africa and Europe.
My core expertise lies in React / Next.js, Node.js, and Go — backed by deep experience with PostgreSQL, Firebase, Docker, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP). I care deeply about code quality, developer experience, and shipping features that matter.
I'm open to remote and hybrid roles with European teams. I'm comfortable working across CET/EAT timezones and have experience collaborating with distributed teams.
