Enterprise Solutions Architect with heavy immersion in Spring framework. Significant project experience with Linux server setup and configuration. Looking for new challenges, interesting problems, and not afraid of big numbers.

Recent projects include the design, development and deployment of an Agency and Mobile Banking solution built with the approach of SaaS for Tangazoletu limited, a company that controls over 50 Saccos with a combined membership well over 500,000 controlling over 1,000,000 accounts. The system exposes various channels for users to interact with their accounts such as USSD, Android application, and web portals. Some services offered include but not limited to account opening, accounts closing, deposits, withdrawals, mini-statement requests, loan applications, loan repayments, etc.

My primary skills lie in the design and development of highly scalable, highly available enterprise applications. Although I specialize in back-end development, I have vast experience in mobile applications development in Android and a relatively fair experience in iOS development. I am looking to use these skills to grow my experience and knowledge, and I'm most interested in implementing original solutions for unique problems.
