Work Experience

Software Developer at Zone01 Kisumu
January 1, 2026 - Present
Designed and maintained scalable Go backend services using concurrency patterns, structured error handling, and performance optimization in a production Linux environment. Built REST and GraphQL-consuming integrations with JWT authentication and OAuth 2.0 authorization flows, including third-party service integration. Worked on PostgreSQL schema design with migrations and ORM-based data access, improving query performance and maintainability. Implemented security best practices across the stack (XSS prevention, secure token storage, rate limiting, SQL-injection safeguards) for regulated/data-sensitive use cases. Developed React/TypeScript UI components and managed client state with Redux Toolkit. Wrote unit/integration/automated tests using Go testing tools and Jest with a TDD mindset, and contributed to CI/CD automation using Bash and GitHub Actions. Participated in agile ceremonies and peer code reviews to maintain engineering standards.
