An organization called Connected Awards organized by TechTrend Africa selected me as their best nominee for Exceptional Software Developer category specially in the backend guru. From their series of posts and advertisements I was one of the best nominees in East Africa who is making an impact both in technologically and economically in my continent Africa and my country Ethiopia.
In my previous experience, I did several both UI, server-side, and automation projects and have been tasked by the manager to build both UI and server-side solutions. But one of my favorite projects was building a blockchain stock market platform to buy, sell and trade bitcoins. My manager tasked me build an efficient REST API for this exciting platform. Then I researched a lot of similar projects, REST API best practices, and guidelines, and the best backend architecture and frameworks which are hot in the market. Next up with the software architecture team and with my manager, we decided to use microservice architecture, Nestjs framework with PgSQl database to build the REST API. After building several microservices I added an event store database, Redis data cache, and event bus components to improve the microservices communication and enhance the API performance.

From the challenges which I faced in my experience, I want to improve my communication skills, especially with clients and business analysts. In short rather than using tech gorgons use pure "English" in meetings.
