About Me

As a Full Stack Developer with a proven track record, I specialize in building responsive, scalable web applications. My journey began as a Junior Python Developer at I.T HouseGH, where I focused on writing modular code and optimizing database performance. I then transitioned to a Front End Developer role at Hot Platform, leading the design and development of a company payment platform and significantly improving accessibility and user engagement. Currently, as a Freelance Full Stack Developer at WebSP, I provide end-to-end web development services, excelling in creating high-performance, SEO-optimized applications and managing the full project lifecycle from consultation to deployment and optimization.

My academic foundation includes a BSc. in Information Technology Education from the University of Education. I've continuously advanced my skills through professional development, including the AWS Cloud Practitioner Training Program, where I gained hands-on experience with core AWS services, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and CI/CD pipelines. My expertise in cloud architecture is further solidified by my AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate certification. Additionally, I completed a Full Stack Web Developer Course at Microverse, mastering various frameworks and collaborative development practices, and a Python Specialization from the University of Michigan, focusing on data manipulation and web services.

My technical proficiency spans JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript. I am highly skilled in frameworks like Next.js, React, and Django, and adept with databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. For cloud and DevOps, I leverage AWS (ECS, CloudFormation, EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, Lambda, DynamoDB), Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions, ensuring efficient deployment and optimized performance through robust CI/CD pipelines.
