// about me
More than
just code.
Software Developer with experience building scalable backend systems, mobile applications, and fullstack platforms across startups and freelance projects. Based in Nigeria, I've worked on fintech systems, marketplaces, and developer tools.
I work across the entire stack—from React and React Native frontends to Node.js, NestJS, and Go backends, with databases like MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis. My focus is on performance, clean architecture, and rapid execution from idea to deployment.
Beyond engineering, I bring structure to projects through agile workflows and sprint planning, ensuring ideas move efficiently from concept to delivery with cross-functional collaboration.
"Strong focus on performance, clean architecture, and rapid execution from idea to deployment."
