01. About Me

I am a results-driven Software Engineer & IT Professional with a background in Information Technology Management. My expertise spans web and mobile development, cloud systems, and database management, with a strong passion for designing accessible, pixel-perfect, and scalable digital experiences.

As the Founder of AllMap Hostels, I led the creation of a full ecosystem helping students discover and book off-campus housing through a student app, an admin dashboard for hostel owners, and a public-facing website. I have also built Synchora Health, a hospital SaaS platform with USSD integration, and contributed to multiple other solutions in fintech, healthtech, and e-commerce.

Beyond technical delivery, I thrive on solving real-world problems, collaborating with teams, and applying technology to drive business efficiency and social impact. With a growing portfolio of 15+ deployed projects, I continue to push boundaries in software engineering while building solutions that make everyday life simpler and smarter.
