I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 5 years of industry experience, specializing in bridging robust software architecture with advanced AI capabilities. I have a proven track record of taking products from 0 to 1, building scalable web applications, and seamlessly integrating large language models (LLMs) into production environments.

My technical foundation lies in developing intuitive, high-performance user interfaces using React/Next.js, while architecting secure backend systems and microservices with Node.js and Python. I am deeply passionate about leveraging data and artificial intelligence to build sustainable, high-impact digital solutions for Africa and the global market.
