I'm a Software Engineer from 🇸🇱 Freetown, Sierra Leone, focused on engineering systems that are reliable, resilient, and built to scale. I specialize in backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, and securing distributed systems — from designing APIs to shipping containerized workloads to production.

• 🔭 Currently working on CoursePaddy as Lead Backend Engineer & DevOps — previously shipped KeneCare (telemedicine platform)
• 🌩️ Hands-on experience deploying systems to AWS / cloud platforms with CI/CD pipelines
• 🔐 Passionate about system security — auth workflows, secure data sharing, least-privilege infra
• 🏗️ I think in systems: queues, caches, health checks, failover, and observability
• 💡 Motto: Imagination is everything — but execution is what ships
• 💼 Open to work — actively seeking Backend or DevOps Engineer roles (remote-friendly)

Stay tuned 👀

I'm actively looking for my next opportunity as a Backend Engineer or DevOps Engineer — remote or hybrid.

If you're building something ambitious and need someone who can architect backend systems, own cloud infrastructure, and ship production-grade software, let's talk.

What I bring to the table:

• ✅ Proven experience shipping real products used by real users
• ✅ End-to-end ownership — from API design to cloud deployment
• ✅ Strong grasp of system security, distributed patterns, and observability
• ✅ Collaborative team player who has worked in cross-functional teams

I typically respond within 24 hours. Don't hesitate to reach out — whether it's a job opportunity, a collaboration, or just a conversation about systems.
