I was responsible for designing something scalable and intuitive, based on feedback and requests from customers, and lightweight enough to work well on unstable internet connections in Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Built and maintained complex back-end systems in Laravel PHP and MariaDB. My team was involved with implementing a complete back-end overhaul of the legacy SonSetLink application to Laravel 9, addressing numerous scalability, performance and maintainability problems.
