Full Stack Developer — Backend Specialist
Building resilient systems and clean interfaces that scale from prototype to production.
I'm a full stack developer with a deep focus on backend engineering. Over the past 5+ years I've designed and shipped production systems — from fast REST APIs to event-driven architectures — using Python frameworks like Flask and Django as my core toolkit.
I pick up the full stack where it matters: React for interactive UIs, Flutter for cross-platform mobile, and deep database expertise across both SQL and NoSQL stores. Whether it's raw PostgreSQL query tuning or architecting a MongoDB sharded cluster, I care about data as much as code.
My philosophy is simple: clean code, honest trade-offs, and solutions that actually fit the problem. I'm equally comfortable diving into a gnarly legacy codebase or architecting something greenfield from scratch.
Build distributed systems that are fault-tolerant, observable, and maintainable at scale.
Contribute to open-source Python and Ruby tooling that makes developers more productive.
Deepen expertise in cloud-native architecture (Kubernetes, serverless, event-driven design).
Mentor junior developers and champion engineering culture built on code review and continuous learning.
Deliver mobile and web products that solve real problems for users across Africa and beyond.
A full-stack platform that simplifies relocation by connecting users with vetted movers, flexible container-based storage, and end-to-end logistics coordination. Features include instant quote generation, real-time tracking, inventory management, and seamless scheduling - all from a single interface.
A web-based Restaurant Point of Sale system built with Django. Designed for small-to-medium restaurant operations, it supports order processing, inventory management, employee accounts, and sales analytics with role-based access control.
A cross-platform Flutter app connecting smallholder farmers to market prices and agronomic advisory services. Django REST backend with offline-first SQLite sync and push notifications via Firebase.
End-to-end web applications from architecture to deployment. I build backends that scale and frontends that convert.
Clean, versioned, well-documented RESTful and GraphQL APIs. I build for the developers who consume them, not just the spec.
Cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter that look native on iOS and Android. Offline-first, fast, and polished.
Schema design, query optimisation, indexing strategies, and migrations. I turn slow databases into reliable assets.
Whether you need a full-stack web app, a robust API, a mobile application, or just a second opinion on your architecture — I'm open to interesting challenges. Let's talk.
