Felix Ivance Runye
👋

Hello, I'm Felix. I'm a full-stack developer with 7+ years of experience. I enjoy building websites & apps.

About me

With over 7 years of hands-on software engineering experience, I currently serve as a senior software engineer and head of department at Solutech Limited. I play a key role in developing advanced sales force automation tools, contributing to our mission of empowering African businesses with data-driven decisions.

Previously, I held leadership roles at Kodipay as CTO and Lead Software Developer. There, I led the creation of innovative applications for the property management industry, leveraging my technical expertise to enhance efficiency.

My professional journey centers on results-driven product development and a passion for using technology to address industry challenges. I excel in building high-performance teams, fostering collaboration, and delivering solutions that surpass client expectations.

Beyond coding, I find joy in adventurous pursuits like biking and cycling, and I'm an avid reader. I also value connecting with professionals over coffee. Contact me or let's connect on LinkedIn.
