01 — About

The engineer behind the code

I'm a backend-focused software engineer, trained at Refactory Academy in Kampala, with hands-on experience building real applications in Python and Django.

I've built an inventory management system for a client, a full e-commerce platform with payment integration, and a responsive interior design website. I care about clean, well-structured code and APIs that other developers can actually work with.

Detail-oriented, comfortable working independently, and used to a Git/GitHub team workflow with pull requests and code review.
