Created and Deployed an Agri-Tech

I recently joined a team of amazing women to build a mobile app called UmojaAgri Santana Jepchumba Blen Redwan Michelle Fayeun Blessing Omonye Abanonkhua Nkechika Collins Akpe Rotimi Amusa

I deployed UmojaAgri 🌱 an AgriTech platform focused on improving how farmers access tools, insights, and resources.

But beyond development, I approached this project with a DevOps and production-first mindset.

What I implemented:

Containerization using Docker

Automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions

Reverse proxy configuration using Nginx

Cloud deployment using Render

Debugging real-world deployment issues (including “Cannot GET /”)

Performance & Impact:

Deployment time reduced by ~60% using CI/CD automation

Average response time improved through optimized server routing

Achieved stable uptime during testing and deployment phases

Key takeaway:

This wasn’t just about building features it was about shipping reliable, scalable systems.
