About
I am Paul, a backend and full-stack engineer focused on shipped product work.
Software engineer with 3+ years of hands-on development across industry internship, paid client work, and independent product engineering. I build full-stack and backend systems with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, Django, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, automated testing, CI/CD, and Docker.

Working style
Practical engineering, not portfolio theater.
I am a backend and full-stack software engineer focused on practical products: typed APIs, database-backed workflows, responsive interfaces, and deployment-ready systems.
My work spans a paid e-commerce client project, an AI recruitment platform with RAG and tested API behavior, a Cameroon-focused jobs platform, and a Python trading research system. Across these projects, I care about clear architecture, validation, testing, documentation, and shipping software that can be evaluated by real users.
To build reliable, maintainable software products that solve real problems, ship with strong engineering fundamentals, and keep improving through practical project work.
Build the backend and frontend around clear user workflows.
Use validation, authentication, databases, and tests as product foundations.
Ship projects that can be opened, reviewed, and improved after deployment.
