Scouting report

Jamaican backend developer exploring Go and Java through self-directed learning projects

assessed from open-source footprint

Senior
40signal

A Kingston-based backend engineer with a long-standing GitHub presence and ten original repositories spanning Java, Go, JavaScript and PHP. The visible work is largely learning-oriented, with projects like 'Intro To Go' and a 'Simple Restaurant API' in Go, and every repo reads as abandoned with negligible stars. Solid language breadth, but the public portfolio reflects study and experimentation rather than maintained or deployed products.
