Hola๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Paul,

I built a popular tool - Ahantu for easily finding cells, villages, sectors, and districts from street addresses and geo coordinates in Rwanda.

I am building NextPesa, A tool to aggregate mobile money transaction data๐Ÿ’ธ.

In my spare time, I enjoy mountain biking and trying out new trails๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Favourites Tools ๐Ÿงต ๐Ÿชก

  • MongoDB(keeps your db problems till later).
  • Golang(a true Swiss army knife, great for everyday needs while simultaneously low-level enough to do systems programming and all the cool networking stuff).
  • Node.js.
  • Kubernetes(sends you on a learning roller coaster that includes but is not limited to container internals, networking, security, deployment patterns and Linux).
  • Vim (I heard it causes receding hairline, but it's worth it).
  • Linux (Well, you can't run away from it)

Currently Learning ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿ“Œ

  • Linux - through the LFCS curriculum, I won't be taking the certification itself.
  • Kubernetes - In preparation to get certified as a Certified Kubernetes Administrator(CKA).
  • Terraform, shell scripting, Kubernetes, and its tooling.
  • Random computer sciency things.

Currently Reading ๐Ÿ“š ๐Ÿ“–

  • Soft Skills: The software developer's life manual by John Sonmez
  • Google technical writing course - Casually audited this courses a couple of years ago, but I've been writing more lately, and I'd benefit from going through the material again.
  • Hands-On System Programming with Go by Alex Guerrieri โ€” So I can pretend I'm smart on Twitter.
  • Concurrency in Go; tools and techniques for developers by Katherine Cox-Buday.

I occasionally write on my blog here https://dev.to/paularah. I kept a low-budget Youtube channel while teaching at Solvit Africa โ€” a bootcamp for budding software engineers.
