MIKE ATTARA
Software Engineer — building resilient systems and scalable platforms with clarity, curiosity, and care.

I'm a results-driven Software Engineer with a background in teaching, specializing in resilient backend systems and intuitive, user-centered applications. I've designed, built, and scaled platforms across fintech, telecom, and logistics—delivering high-impact features such as AI agents, KYC workflows, digital wallets, virtual cards, and real-time transaction processing using technologies like Ruby on Rails, NestJS (Node.js), Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, React, and Next.js.

Driven by curiosity and focused on impact, I continuously explore tools, technologies, and strategies that improve outcomes for users, teams, and businesses. From CI/CD automation to system performance and DevOps, I prioritize scalable, maintainable solutions that evolve with changing needs.

Beyond engineering, I’m passionate about mentorship and community. With a B.Ed. in IT Education, I bring a teaching mindset to collaboration—fostering clarity, shared growth, and continuous learning. I contribute to open-source, lead technical workshops, and support inclusive tech communities like GDG Accra, DjangoGirls, and RailsGirls.
