About

Backend developer specializing in Python and Django, with a solid foundation built through ALX Backend Web Development. I am actively deepening my expertise in Django web development (currently study-reading Django for Professionals by William Vincent) to master building clean, reliable APIs. Highly passionate about transitioning into AI systems, AI Native Engineering, and robotics, I am currently undergoing a structured 8-course cohort-based learning path at the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (NCAIR) to merge my web backend knowledge with data science, product development, and embedded systems.
