Starting my career in hospitality and tourism, I later found my calling as a software engineer. My background in tourism and hospitality has helped develop my strong communication and interpersonal skills, conflict management, people-management, and solution-driven mindset.
As a software engineer, I enjoy contributing to the organisation and products success by understanding the mission and vision, core-services, customer needs and distribution channels.
I do this while practising high-quality software practices such as Agile, continuous delivery, object-oriented design, and service-based architecture.
I'm passionate about creating extensible solutions that are fit for purpose by leveraging my skills in DevOps and as a backend developer.
I am aspired to be a full-stack developer who can contribute to the success of any mission-led organisations.
I enjoy attending and volunteering at workshops, conferences which improves my technical skills and helps me learn from other technologists
In my view, no individual is fully formed. On the contrary, each individual is a work in progress, alive with possibilities. And I am drawn toward people for this very reason.
With millions of active and registered users, adopting cloud platform is critical.
Enterprise cloud adoption results in significant bottom line savings by improving efficiency, eliminating the need for a large security and maintenance staff, and lowering the cost of server space.
I was part of the team that onboarded a large number of existing applications to the AWS cloud
Within a short amount of time, we managed to extend the existing platform to onboard 90% of the services from on-premise to the cloud with no impact on production traffic.
During the pandemic 2019, I contributed my time to develop new features which supports the Bahmni - an easy-to-use EMR & hospital system.
It combines and enhances existing open source products(OpenMRS, OpenELIS, Odoo & dcm4chee) into a single solution.
It is one of the most popular open-source EMR & HMIS products, with 500+ downloads per month.
Bahmni is a strategic asset to many humanitarian organizations and recommended EMR/EHR by Ministries of Health of countries like Tanzania, Bangladesh, and Rwanda.
It is one of the most popular open-source software for low resource settings in the world.
It has been implemented in 50+ countries and more than 400+ implementations (e.g. Lesotho alone has 180 implementations).
For COVID-19, Bahmni has been re-purposed as a ready-to-use system for:
Building a new platform to deliver impactful and just-in-time customer communications.
The solution was a backend, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure service based application with security and monitoring top of mind.
Improving the e-commerce capacity of an existing application. During the project, I implemented solutions for security/functional defects and new user features.
Apart from being a software engineer, I like to dedicate my free time at my Taekwondo club. It's one of the most popular martial arts which is beeing taught in almost every country in the world.
Taekwondo helps me find the balance between my family life and work, teaches me about courtersy, intergrity, self-control and most importanly perseverance - to keep on doing something despite difficulties and never give up.
