Work Experience

Software Engineer at SMC DAO
December 1, 2024 - Present
Built Python backend services and abstraction layers for account, identity, and wallet operations, applying object-oriented design and common patterns to keep the codebase modular and easy to extend. Wrote unit and integration tests across every service boundary as a matter of course, not an afterthought. Refactored existing service components for clarity and maintainability as the platform grew, prioritising readability so the next engineer touching the code could understand it quickly. Worked async-first in a fully distributed remote team across time zones, collaborating closely with engineers on design decisions, code reviews, and debugging sessions.
Software Engineer at Moniepoint
February 1, 2024 - August 1, 2024
Python backend development, troubleshooting: built distributed account and monitoring services in Python on AWS, processing high volumes of financial events. Debugged complex production issues by tracing root causes through structured logs and metrics rather than guessing at fixes. Wrote test coverage across financial service boundaries using pytest, focusing on correctness and edge case handling in code that could not afford to fail silently. Led code reviews emphasizing readability, maintainability, and adherence to design patterns. Used Docker for consistent local and deployment environments and worked within CI/CD pipelines for every release.
Software Engineer at Aquila
July 1, 2023 - January 1, 2024
Backend integration layers for cross-border remittance flows in Python using event-driven patterns. Designed the system with clear separation of concerns, making it straightforward to extend with new data sources without touching existing logic. Debugged recurring transaction processing issues by isolating root cause rather than patching symptoms, cutting processing time by 30% through a cleaner, more maintainable implementation.
Software Engineer at King, Cabana
May 1, 2023 - June 1, 2023
Built data-intensive React and TypeScript dashboards working directly with clients and PMs, collaborating across disciplines to deliver working software on short cycles.
