Detail-oriented full-stack software engineer with over 7 years of experience in developing complex web applications and android apps. 

Some highlights of the most significant and long-lasting projects I've worked on:

- I started my career by participating in the development of an online training system for one of the Kenyan government's initiative to employ the youth; written on Laravel from scratch. I refactored some core functionalities by moving part of the logic to the abstraction layer, which made future integrations much easier.
- The next huge project was high-traffic and high-loaded mobile loans android application with over 10,000 monthly users. I built the android application from scratch and it connected to external REST and SOAP APIs for credit scoring and payment processing through banks.
- After that, I designed and built an API using Laravel and an android app in Java for scheduling automated clinical appointments for people living with HIV through the government's ministry of health. The system is being used in 50+ healthcare facilities with 300K+ patients receiving appointment reminders.  
- Built an interactive farmers' marketplace App for value chains in rural Africa with offline capability. It supports buyers, sellers and consumers at the bottom of the pyramid. Users maintain personal financial records and can access their funds through mobile money networks (MTN Money, Airtel Money, M-PESA) 
- Created a fully fledged micro-credit system in Laravel with an android app that automates access to salary advance loans, LPO loans and invoice discount loans. Through REST APIs, the system connects to custom bank APIs and mobile money APIs to allow users to withdraw money from their wallets to their bank accounts or mobile money wallets. Being the only developer on the project. Server maintenance for all the linux servers was also on me.
- Designed and built and API in Lumen for a service-hailing app that links clients to accredited service providers through an Android and iOS app written in flutter. Infrastructure, networking and server maintenance was also part of my tasks for this project. 

Besides the projects mentioned above, I had lots of smaller ones and each had something interesting in it.

I Enjoy writing code that solves problems in the real world.
What I expect from my future position:
- to be fully remote
- to have opportunities for personal growth
- use of modern technologies
