Building reliable, scalable software with a growing focus on backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and distributed systems.
I'm a Computer Science student and software engineer interested in designing, building, and operating reliable software systems. My focus is on backend development, cloud-native infrastructure, automation, and distributed systems.
My technology journey began in 2023 through Codecademy. Since then, I've continued developing my engineering skills through the ALX Africa Software Engineering Program, a McKinsey learning program, Stanford scholarship-supported studies in Data Science in Precision Medicine and Cloud Computing, and my Computer Science degree at the University of the People.
In 2026, I joined a cloud-native training program through Andela in partnership with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), strengthening my understanding of Kubernetes, containerization, and modern DevOps practices.
I'm particularly interested in how software is designed, deployed, scaled, and maintained in real-world environments.

I'm interested in building technology that combines sound engineering principles with meaningful real-world impact.
Outside software engineering, I enjoy playing the guitar and piano, lawn tennis, cooking, and hiking. These interests help me maintain creativity, curiosity, and balance.
I'm always interested in connecting with engineers, recruiters, founders, and teams building impactful technology.
