👨‍💻 About Me

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a strong backend focus and full-stack delivery experience. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve designed scalable systems, built robust APIs, and contributed across the stack — from backend logic to frontend components — depending on the team’s needs.

  • Software Engineer at Nimonik - Scaling the standards document store
  • Passionate about building purposeful tech — currently tackling education inequality through my project VirtuEducate.

💡 Soft Skills

I bring more than just code to the table:

Skill What it means to me
🛠 Responsibility Sometimes things go wrong—when they do, I take responsibility and learn from it.
🏢 Ownership It’s never your thing, your company—it’s ours. That means I show up like it matters, because it does.
💙 Caring At the end of the day, people matter. I try to never lose sight of that.
💬 Communication I’m married—of course I had to learn to communicate 😄
🤝 Honesty & Integrity It’s never easy to say the deadline’s too tight. But I’d rather be honest than overpromise.
🔄 Adaptability We’re never perfect, so being adaptable is our best shot at getting there.
🌟 Positive Attitude My name Kondwani means “happy”—and yes, I definitely bring the vibes.
🧩 Problem Solving This one’s rooted in my belief system. It’s personal, but here’s the gist: I believe I can. Therefore, I will.
💼 Work Ethic I pick work that aligns with my purpose—when it does, putting in the effort feels natural.
🌻 Always Learning I definitely don’t know everything—no one does. But I’m wired to stay curious, ask questions, and keep growing.
