I have worked on a couple amazing projects and some that stood out to me are, an Electronic Voter's Register for the ruling party of my country, which had over 11 million registered users at the time of building this application. The other is a School Management System which contract I got from one of the schools I volunteer teaching ICT skills during my free time.
Below are some of my achievements as a result of building these projects.
For the Voters register project:
Successfully developed a voters register application with over 11 million registered users using Ruby on Rails for the back-end and React for the front-end.

Implemented Elastic search to improve search functionality and performance, allowing users to quickly and easily find relevant information.

Developed a scalable and maintainable architecture for the application, ensuring that it could handle the large volume of users and data.

Implemented a robust authentication and authorization system using the Devise gem to ensure the security and privacy of user information.

Improved application performance by optimizing database queries and implementing caching strategies using Redis, resulting in faster load times and improved user experience.

Implemented a testing suite using RSpec for the Ruby on Rails back-end and Jest and React Testing Library for the React front-end, resulting in improved code quality and fewer bugs in production.

Successfully deployed the application to production using Capistrano ensuring reliable and efficient operation at scale.
Collaborated with cross-functional teams including designers, product managers, and stakeholders to ensure that the application met all business and user requirements.
Programming satisfies my desire for both constant learning and ongoing refinement. I always look forward to learning more with the aim of expanding my fluency in multiple programming languages.

As a Ruby on Rails developer; In the past couple of years, I have worked on web applications ranging from your everyday mom-and-pop business websites to large-scale web applications with more complex operations. I've also worked with clients of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises, and I'm comfortable working independently and as part of a team.

In addition to my experience with Ruby on Rails, I'm also proficient in React and have built several web applications using this framework. I'm comfortable working with React's component-based architecture and have experience integrating it with back-end APIs.

Speaking of APIs, I have experience building them using Ruby on Rails. I'm familiar with RESTful API design principles and can implement them to ensure that APIs are scalable, maintainable, and secure.

When it comes to testing, I'm experienced with RSpec for Ruby on Rails applications and Jest, React Testing Library to test React components in a user-centric way. I believe that writing tests is essential for delivering high-quality software that is reliable and maintainable, and I'm committed to writing thorough, well-organized tests for all of my projects. To me, these tests also serve as living documentation for the project because often times when I am working on legacy code that’s where I start from to gain some good insight into the code base.

Finally, I'm also experienced in working with Docker, both for local development and deployment to production environments. I understand how Docker can streamline the development process by ensuring that all developers are working in the same environment, and I know how to deploy Docker containers to production servers to ensure that applications are running reliably and efficiently.

What sets me apart as a developer is my attention to detail and my commitment to delivering high-quality work. I believe that software should not only function correctly, but also be easy to use, maintain, and extend. I'm always striving to learn new technologies and best practices to stay ahead of the curve and ensure that I'm delivering the best possible solutions to my clients.
