Passionate about building for the next billion users

About me

It is a pleasure to have you in my cyberspace. I'm a full-stack developer with a growing affinity for Javasript related technologies. I am proficient in Javascript, React, Node, Express, and Python.

After almost a decade spent working in teams, researching, overcoming challenges, and architecting scalable systems in college and the tech community, I've developed strong creative problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills. I am interested in applying these skills, in combination with modern web technologies, to build engaging and cutting-edge products.

When not working on a project or thinking about programming, I'm most likely out, sight-seeing, watching TV series on Netflix, spending time with family and friends, or thinking about how to contribute to poverty alleviation through technology and empowerment in Africa.
