about-me.
Engineer, student, and builder based in Kigali. This is the longer version of the story.
// hello, I'm
Confiance Ufitamahoro
I'm a Software Engineering student at AUCA and Technical Lead at TekNest, based in Kigali, Rwanda. I specialize in building complete, scalable web and mobile platforms, from database design to front-end execution.
My hands-on work includes architecting and deploying production systems like multi-role POS platforms, e-commerce solutions, and custom software architectures. I thrive on solving complex technical challenges using modern tools like React, Node.js, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Linux environments.
Outside of client work, I experiment with 3D on the web, motion, and interaction design. I like software that feels fast, looks deliberate, and holds up when real people use it.

#how-i-work
Full stack development
I design and ship complete products: database schemas, APIs, authentication, and the interfaces people actually use.
Systems that scale
Production deployments, role based access, cloud infrastructure, and the boring reliability work that keeps a platform alive.
Creative engineering
3D in the browser, motion, and interaction design. I care about how software feels, not just how it works.
Own the outcome
From the first schema to the final deploy, I take responsibility for the whole system, not just my slice.
Keep it understandable
Clear structure and simple abstractions beat clever code that only one person can maintain.
Ship, then refine
Real feedback beats speculation. I get a working version in front of people, then iterate hard.
