About

Five years of
production reality

Software engineer with 5+ years of experience building and shipping production systems across web, mobile, and server infrastructure. Currently Technical Lead at TASY ECOM — driving full-stack product work and managing the underlying DevOps. Comfortable moving between a Flutter UI, a NestJS or Laravel backend, and a hardened Linux VPS. I care about code that is secure, maintainable, and actually reaches users.

EducationB.Sc. Software Engineering — Makerere University

Whole-stack ownership

Database schema, API contract, UI polish, server hardening — one engineer, one accountable thread from idea to production.

Security is a feature

UFW rules, MariaDB hardening, automated rclone backups, monitoring. Systems that survive contact with the real internet.

Ship to real users

Three apps on Google Play, platforms through TestFlight review, production e-commerce. Code that isn't deployed doesn't count.
