S/01 - About

Behind every beautiful product is a quieter system. I build the system.

Four years ago I walked into Andela's nine-month full-stack program in Kigali and walked out shipping production code. Since then I've worked across two continents - from an AR product team in Rwanda to an AEM engineering org in Milan - and the lesson is the same: software is a contract with the business, not with the framework.

I work end-to-end. Architecture, API, frontend, mobile, deploy. Java in the morning, Flutter in the afternoon, the case-for-not-building-it memo at the end of the week. Currently lead engineer on three live products serving real users in production.

"Aime is the rare engineer who reads the business as carefully as the spec. He pushed back on three features we didn't need and shipped the ones we did - early."
