Dominic Sengo
Full Stack Software Developer
Full-stack software engineer with real-world dev experience, and a deep curiosity for cybersecurity, cloud, and blockchain. I specialize in crafting pixel-perfect, engaging, and accessible digital experiences that drive user engagement and satisfaction.
About
My tech journey started in 2015 with a diploma in Information Technology — but it didn’t stop there. Fueled by a passion for creating and a drive to master the full stack, I’ve spent the years since building applications, securing systems, and exploring the future of decentralized tech.
Today, I’m a full-stack software engineer with strong backend and frontend skills, layered with real-world understanding of DevOps, UI/UX, cybersecurity, and blockchain architecture. My technical toolkit spans React, React Native, NestJS, Flask, Kubernetes among others — with each new project pushing me further.
Backed by a diploma in IT and sharpened by real-world builds, I bridge frontend magic and backend power — with deep dives into cybersecurity, DevOps, and blockchain. Certified in full-stack software engineering, ethical hacking, Kubernetes, and cloud security (SC-900, AZ-500), I’m also exploring the cutting edge of precision medicine through Stanford. Always building. Always leveling up.
