I am a backend and systems engineer who builds secure, scalable REST APIs and operates them in production-like environments. I enjoy turning complex requirements into robust services using Django/DRF, Laravel, and a strong focus on reliability, security, and observability. My experience spans system integration (Nextcloud DRF integrations and third-party APIs), payment workflows (M-Pesa Daraja, Paystack, Stripe) with idempotency and webhook validation, and production patterns for authentication, RBAC, and transactional integrity. I thrive on Linux, Docker, Redis, PostgreSQL/MySQL, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions), with a priority on repeatable deployments and clear observability through metrics, logs, dashboards, and alerting.…I am a backend and systems engineer who builds secure, scalable REST APIs and operates them in production-like environments.
