Leading a talented team of domain architects responsible for shaping the technology roadmap and defining architectural vision, establishing best practices, and implementing cutting-edge technologies.
As a Software Architect, I excel in assembling and leading top-tier development teams, having successfully hired and managed backend, mobile, data, and AI engineers. My expertise extends to the strategic setup of platform infrastructure on AWS from the ground up, ensuring scalability and efficiency.
In addition to team leadership and infrastructure management, I have a proven track record in designing robust system architectures. Notably, I spearheaded the development of a pioneering highlights generation service prototype, resulting in a $1.3 million seed funding round.
As a Software Architect, I have been instrumental in shaping the technological landscape by designing the architecture of two critical services: the Order Management service and the Finance service. In the realm of Order Management, I led the design efforts, ensuring a scalable and reliable system that significantly improved order processing times. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I translated business requirements into a robust architecture, implementing best practices and design patterns for optimal performance.
In the Finance service domain, my role extended to architecting a system that prioritized data integrity, security, and seamless integration with external financial systems. By understanding the intricacies of financial workflows and compliance requirements, I crafted a scalable and maintainable architecture. The introduction of modular design principles not only reduced development time for new financial features but also enhanced the overall maintainability of the codebase.
In my role as a Software Engineer at JUMIA Group, I have had the privilege of contributing to transformative projects that play a pivotal role in the e-commerce landscape. As the driving force behind the development of the REST API serving mobile applications for the JUMIA Marketplace, I played a crucial role in enhancing the user experience for millions of customers. My responsibilities included architecting and implementing a robust and scalable API, ensuring seamless communication between the mobile applications and the underlying services. This endeavor not only elevated the performance of the mobile platform but also laid the foundation for future innovations.
In another dynamic project, I took on the challenge of designing the microservices architecture and leading the implementation of a Warehouse Management System (WMS). This system served as the backbone for managing warehousing operations across the JUMIA Group. Through strategic planning and collaboration with cross-functional teams, I devised an architecture that optimized efficiency, real-time visibility, and scalability. The successful implementation of the WMS streamlined warehousing operations, improving inventory management and order fulfillment processes.
As a dynamic leader and Software Development Team Lead at ALERT, I spearhead a talented team dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare solutions through innovative software development. My primary focus has been on orchestrating the development of a Coding module, a critical component of ALERT's comprehensive hospital software suite.
