About Me

A graduate software engineer with a strong backend focus, practical deployment experience and a polished portfolio built around real systems.

I’m a First-Class Computer Science graduate focused on backend engineering. Recently, I’ve been designing and deploying API-based systems for job tracking, interview preparation, and finance management. These projects have given me hands-on experience with authentication, database design, cloud deployment and production troubleshooting.

I care about clean architecture, readable code, and systems that feel thoughtfully built. My goal is to join a strong engineering team where I can keep growing while contributing to software that genuinely solves problems.

✅ First-Class BSc in Computer Science (Software Engineering)
✅ Render + Neon deployments with PostgreSQL and Prisma
✅ Strong fundamentals in REST APIs, JWT auth, and backend structure
✅ Comfortable debugging production issues and iterating quickly
