Hi, My name is Yafsa but you can call me Yapsee. I am a software developer.
My journey in technology as a professional developer starts in May 2019 as a Ruby on Rails backend for Oolu Solar . I had the opportunity to be the mentee of the most respected engineers in the ecosystem. As a backend-developer my mission was to integrate payments methods Apis for the company. I was working closely with the CTO and I was holding multiple meetings with fintech technical teams in many African countries. Isn’t that cool ? 😊
I was also trying to build my own startup but I failed. But you know what I like when it comes to coding ? There is no failure you just keep learning and improving yourself.
Currently I am the Lead dev at Yobante Express and i work remotely for couple US startups.
So don't hesitate to reach out if you looking for proactive collaborator in these technologies.
