Have you ever tried to explain your job to your grandma? "I am a software Developer," I say, only to be met with a blank stare that screams, "Can you fix my Wi-Fi instead?" Well, if you’re looking for a Backend Developer who can make complex systems feel as easy as pie (and maybe even help with that Wi-Fi), you’ve come to the right profile!With over three years of experience in designing and implementing scalable web applications and APIs, I've turned complex specifications into user-friendly solutions.My journey has taken me from the bustling tech scene in Nairobi to the vibrant streets of London, where I've honed my skills in Python, Django, and various cloud solutions like AWS and Google Firebase.Currently, I'm diving deep into backend development at JaGedo Tech, where I’ve designed APIs that not only support 1,000+ users but also boast a 25% reduction in response time. My passion for technology drives me to continuously learn and adapt, earning certifications along the way, including AWS Certified Developer and a diploma in Front-End Software Engineering.Let’s connect via kiningumbuvi@gmail.com and also visit my github account https://github.com/kinin01 and explore how we can build something amazing together.
