Paul Muyali

I am a software engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack development, backend architecture, and AI-driven systems, backed by an Electrical & Electronics Engineering background. I specialize in building scalable web applications, particularly backend architecture, intelligent AI systems (LLMs + RAG), and IoT-integrated platforms that solve real-world problems particularly in agriculture, energy, and automation. I have proven experience in designing robust APIs, optimizing databases, and implementing QA/QE pipelines to ensure reliability, performance, and production readiness.

Currently focused on developing agentic AI systems, cloud-based architectures, building SAAS startups, and data-driven platforms that merge software engineering with intelligent automation.

(2025-09 - 2025-12)

• Engineered and tested scalable backend systems using Node.js, Express, and TypeScript by building simple projects during the learning period.
• Designed and optimized SQL database schemas both locally and on Azure improving query efficiency and data integrity.
• Built and tested RESTful APIs, ensuring reliability across multiple endpoints as well as learning layered architecture of APIs (client, routes, controllers, services, repositories, database).
• Implemented automated testing pipelines using Cypress, reducing manual testing overhead
• Learned Frontend state management using Redux toolkit.
• Conducted unit, integration, and performance testing to improve system stability
• Collaborated on frontend applications using React + Redux, ensuring seamless API integration
• Learned Agile methodologies in software development as well as using task management tools like Jira as well as working with other developers in teams and on Github hence giving me the ability to work in a team environment.
• Applied knowledge from the program to build a mini-Jira clone for task-management and tracking among project team members.
