(Backend & System Architecture Focus)
Company: Zone01 Kisumu
Location: Kisumu, Kenya
I’m a full-stack software engineer with a strong focus on backend systems and scalable architecture. I enjoy designing and building high-performance applications, paying close attention to clean code, efficient data modeling, and well-structured APIs. While backend engineering is where I’m most comfortable, I also work confidently across the frontend to deliver complete, end-to-end solutions. I’m motivated by solving complex problems and continuously refining the way systems are designed, built, and improved over time.
