I'm Peter Obiechina, a software engineer with over seven years of hands-on experience building and shipping commercial applications. I’ve led projects through the full development cycle—from idea to launch and beyond—primarily using Flutter, Firebase, JavaScript, and Python. I bring a full-stack mindset with backend APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure, and I also have a background in cybersecurity with hands-on penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. Over the years I’ve built scalable architectures, including offline-first data flows, real-time features with WebSockets, and CI/CD pipelines. I’m comfortable with frontend and mobile, and I enjoy mentoring teammates to raise code quality and delivery speed. I frequently work with Node.js, Django, Firestore, SQL, and related tools, and I continuously pick up new technologies to meet project needs.
