I am excited to apply for the Software Engineer position at Boost Technology, bringing 5 years of experience in delivering scalable solutions that support Kenya's digital transformation. My expertise spans full-stack development with Java, Python, and React, complemented by a proven track record in fintech innovation and system optimization. I am particularly drawn to Boost's commitment to advancing Kenya's tech ecosystem and believe my technical skills align seamlessly with your objectives. At Tulaa Technology Services, I led the development of a mobile banking API integration for 3 partner banks, now processing over 450,000 transactions monthly. By containerizing systems with Docker and Kubernetes, I reduced downtime by 35%. Previously, at SafiriTech Solutions, I engineered a bus booking platform for 15+ SACCOs and integrated M-Pesa payments, handling KES 18M monthly transactions. I also optimized API response times by 60% through query tuning and caching, directly enhancing user experiences. My proficiency in REST APIs, cloud deployments (AWS), and Agile methodologies, combined with experience mentoring junior developers, positions me to contribute immediately to Boost's projects. I am eager to discuss how my background in building resilient, high-traffic solutions can support your team's goals.
