Bingwa Services

January 2021 - Jan 2025
Software Engineer
At Bingwa, I designed and developed scalable frontends using Angular and Ionic, aligning solutions with enterprise design patterns. On the backend, I built services with Node.js, NestJS, and Redis while adhering to company coding standards. Working within agile squads, I actively contributed to sprint planning, backlog grooming, and technical design discussions. To ensure reliability, I implemented unit and integration testing with Jest and Jasmine, consistently achieving 95% code coverage. I also built CI/CD pipelines using Terraform and GitHub Actions, automating deployments and improving delivery speed. In addition to development, I provided production support and conducted root cause analysis within SLA constraints, often with minimal supervision. I further enhanced system stability by refactoring legacy code, reducing technical debt, and ensuring long-term maintainability

Techget Africa

January 2024 - August 2024
Backend Developer
I developed backend RBAC services for a Learning Management System, ensuring secure and role-based access for users. I integrated third-party APIs for payment processing and SMS notifications, streamlining key platform functions. To maintain high standards, I implemented security best practices and ensured compliance with data protection requirements. Collaboration was central to my role, as I worked closely with frontend developers to define API contracts and data models for smooth integration. I also monitored and optimized application performance and scalability, addressing bottlenecks before they impacted users. Additionally, I contributed to code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions, fostering team growth and maintaining code quality.
