  I built and shipped features across the backend, web client, and mobile app. In one of my previous projects, I worked on modifying the dismissal data workflow to solve the problem of inefficient dismissal data processing. I used Python, Django, GraphQL, ReactJS, and React Native to implement the solution. As a result, the re-borrow and collection rates improved by 24% and 36%, respectively.Numida uses proprietary credit models and tech-enabled underwriting processes to provide unsecured working capital loans to African micro and small businesses. Instead of borrowing from informal lenders or family, business owners download the Numida app, apply in minutes, and receive capital within a day. Pokaż mniej
