I am a software engineer with 10 years of experience bridging industrial electrical systems and high-performance software architectures. I specialize in debugging complex logic flows, from low-level memory management to scalable backend systems. I thrive on turning intricate problems into robust, maintainable solutions and enjoy working across full-stack layers, from infrastructure to user-facing interfaces. Most recently, I completed a rigorous 14-month Backend Architecture fellowship with ALX Africa/Holberton School, where I built APIs with Python/Django, designed systems architectures, and implemented asynchronous processing with Redis. Previously, I led domestic electrical projects, developing diagnostic rigor, safety-focused design, and strong client management, all of which inform my disciplined approach to software reliability and end-to-end system thinking.
