Hi, I'm Shan 👋
I’m Shan. I was recruited into professional software engineering during my second year of university, and I haven't slowed down since.

About

In 2024, I completed my Computer Science degree while working full-time as a software engineer. This allowed me to immediately apply academic concepts to solve real-world backend challenges.

At Mabizza IT Solutions, I architected a system that boosted API response times by 90% and cut server costs by 10%. As a lead developer at Whitelide, I mentored my team on SOLID principles and TDD to improve code quality and velocity. My work is grounded in creating resilient, efficient, and secure backend infrastructure.

Outside of work, I play table tennis to recharge and sharpen my focus—a skill I bring back to every engineering problem I solve.
