With 10+ years in tech, I’ve built my expertise around four pillars. As a Software Engineer, I design complex, distributed, and secure systems built to scale (Fintech). As an Engineering Leader (5+ years), I build high-performing teams grounded in excellence, autonomy, and well-being. As a Consultant, I help SMEs navigate digital transformation and AI adoption. And as a Community Builder, I founded Techies Connect’ to create opportunities for the next generation of tech talent in Africa.
