About

About me

Engineer with a bias toward shipping complete, working products.

I'm a software engineering graduate from Bule Hora University focused on full-stack web development, real-time systems, backend architecture, and secure APIs. I take product ideas all the way from database schema to polished UI — building reliable, production-minded software end to end.

What I focus on

Real-time chat and live synchronization with Socket.IO
Type-safe, layered full-stack architecture (Next.js + NestJS)
Production-minded security: Argon2id, CSRF, RBAC, rate limiting
Documented, tested codebases — unit, smoke, and E2E suites built in

Full-Stack Development

Build complete web applications with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and NestJS — from database design and APIs to responsive interfaces.

Real-Time Systems

Build real-time communication and synchronization features using Socket.IO, including messaging, presence, notifications, and live updates.

Secure Backend Systems

Implement authentication, authorization, validation, rate limiting, CSRF protection, secure password hashing, and audit logging.
