About :

Senior full stack GitOps designer/developer and certified Integration Architect — with a background in both software/hardware development, covering: making, inventing, designing, patenting, and prototyping things you can touch, click, and depend on; using tools like Visual Studio Code, Git, Postman, Docker, Matlab, Simulink. and TensorFlow.

Service-Oriented Architecture ( design / prototyping ) :

• MuleSoft certified integration architect __ designing, implementing, assuring technical quality and governance — of organisational microservices.
• Porting monolyths to microservices __ detangling monolithic systems and migrating them to microservice architectures.
• Designing component-based software __ defining, implementing and composing loosely coupled independent components into enterpries systems.
• API modelling __ using RAML, OAS3 to define API specifications and documentation.
• Delineating application components __ with Unified Modeling Language (UML) to visualize a systems design.
• Designing infrastructure layers and service mesh __ with either Kong, or NGINX.
• Composing build and deploy GitOps automation systems __ using GitHub, GitHub Apps, DangerJS validation, JenkinsX, Nexus, and Kubernetes.

Application Development :

• MuleSoft certified developer __ able to build, test, and debug integrations and API implementations.
• Polyglot developer __ in any of the following languages: TypeScript, JavaScript/Node, Python, Java(Rusty), Ruby, DataWeave, UML.
• Developing single-page or mobile web applications __ in Angular or React (graduate of the ReactJS Academy).
• Coding containerised microservices and server-side application components __ with NestJS and Kubernetes.
• Implementating solutions for multiple architectural constraints __ using gRPC, GraphQL, and REST.
• Safeguarding code with test frameworks __ with Cypress, and Nightwatch.

UX/UI Design :

• Developing application concepts __ crafting elevator pitches and visuals to help scope and explain a concept.
• Illustrating and branding software __ with Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Rapid prototyping with interactive wireframing __ using AdobeXD.

• Am Solidworks (CSWA) Certified.
• Took the Stanford Professional High Performance Websites course (taught by Steve Souders).
• Aced MIT’s Big Data course.
• Did one of those online courses from Brown University, in Applied Linear Algebra in Python.
• Enjoy representing numbers in cool new ways (buy me a drink and I'll draw you a picture).
• Have worked on cool plant/aeroponics stuff (buy me a drink and I'll still not tell you #NDA).
• And I can make women's shoes [1], [2], [3] 🤷‍♀️.
