Hi, I'm MUGWANEZA MANZI Audace 👋
I am a Backend Software Engineer specializing in scalable enterprise architectures with PHP / Laravel and Java (17/21) / Spring Boot. As Lead Software Engineer at Artisans Labs and a Java Backend Apprentice at AmaliTech, I architect high-availability microservices, secure RESTful APIs, and distributed platforms—such as Mbaza Ubutabera AI and DormLink—backed by strict Test-Driven Development (Pest, JUnit 5, Mockito), containerization (Docker), and database performance tuning (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis).
Grounded in competitive programming with A2SV (Africa to Silicon Valley) and digital forensics training from ThinkCyber, I apply mathematical logic and security-first principles to deliver fault-tolerant, OWASP-hardened backends. With 1,190+ contributions over the past year, I maintain high shipping velocity and am open to contract, freelance, and full-time engineering projects.
