# About me

Joy Okwudire
AWS Cloud Practitioner

Hi, I'm Joy, a Full-stack Software Engineer with 6 years of experience building cloud-native web applications. I currently build healthcare software in Sweden, delivering end-to-end features across React, Spring Boot, MySQL and AWS, from product requirements through to production.

I work comfortably across the stack with React, TypeScript, Next.js and Node.js, and I am equally at home in Java and Spring Boot on the backend. I care about scalable frontend architecture, clean reusable patterns and dependable APIs that hold up as products grow.

I have shipped real-time video and audio with LiveKit and WebSockets, designed REST APIs and relational data models, and built component libraries that standardize work across teams. I am also a certified AWS Cloud Practitioner and a strong believer in modern engineering practices like CI/CD, automated testing and continuous refactoring.

I use AI-assisted development daily with tools like Claude Code to move faster on implementation, debugging and documentation, while keeping quality high through engineering reviews. If you want to build something together or simply talk shop, feel free to reach out.
