  Imprint Africa

  Sept 2019 - Feb 2020

  Mobile Application Developer

  Led a team into implementing a Flutter mobile application (Adrian Driver) to allow drivers to request for fuel. The app consumed data from Odoo ERP, an open- source Enterprise Resource Planning Software.Researched on how the Odoo ERP system works, including its models and its constraints. Results were used to model data and processes in the mobile application.Released and maintained the mobile application. Available on Google Play Store.Provided dedicated support and timely issue resolution to clients following successful app launch. Show less

  Major League Hacking

  Oct 2020 - Dec 2020

  MLH Fellow - Fall 2020

  Contributed to open source projects like howdoi.py where I added a feature (a flag) to pipe the output to the less command on the terminal.Designed a new search index for the Documenter package of Julia programming language. This was followed by the implementation of a proof of concept using Elasticsearch to design an index on Julia docs.Participated in hackathons and ended up winning one of them (in my team of 4 individuals) under the category of "Getting help". This hackathon project was to help members of the fellowship in getting help from any member across the entire fellowship. Show less

  Senga Technologies

  May 2021 - May 2023

  - Led in then development, deployment, requirement refining & user training of an internal software that formed the core of the automation of an entire business unit. This comprised of 15 modules (and counting) over a span of 9 months. The users shifted entirely from Google Sheets to this software. Data access, reporting, audit trailing and processing time have improved. For instance, tasks that originally took 1 - 3 days reduced to a minute or so (seconds).- Led in laying the technical foundation of other business units. This includes converting user requirements to software designs using UML Diagrams. Understanding the product is a requirement and being in a startup, accounting for possible changes is a given, hence designs aren't cast on stone.- Leading in writing an entire engine (Rails) for one of the large business units. Being a new approach, it will help us maintain a monolith with decoupled components that are mostly independent. This has led me to closing issues in Github concerning gems(libraries) that work well in main rails applications but are faulty on engines. Quite a learning experience. Leading in development of the front-end too, API documentation using Swagger & generating commends from code (with code embeddings) using yard and jekyll.- Helped out in our previous software engineering hiring cycle. Out of the 3 hires, I actively participated in sourcing for 2 of them, one of whom was places under me as a her mentee - she has so far proceeded to revamp our company website.- Mentoring one of our new hires. Helping them out as they dig into the Computer Science curriculum - in matters such as Graph Theory, Constraint Satisfaction Problems & Algorithms in general and by introducing them to communities that they'll greatly benefit from.- Using Julia to experiment on things that may help us when we get to building a logic engine - as the business progresses. Show less Using Ruby and React to develop a logistics platform.Designing and implementing logistics algorithms using ruby - currently trying out graph theory implementations, e.g using bipartite graphs. Developing a design system to improve our product development time. Designing, building and documenting static pricing representation (JSON based DSL) while accounting for flexibility and scale alongside a reasoning component -> a pricing parser (inspired by how language parsers work).
