About

Crafting Digital Experience That Matter

I’m driven by a simple curiosity: how can we make tech solve real problems? Over the last four years, I’ve focused on building scalable systems and high-performance solutions across Fintech, EdTech, and SaaS. Whether I'm optimizing a slow API or architecting a complex backend, my goal is always to make sure the tech works perfectly for the people using it.

Beyond writing code, I’m big on community and sharing what I know. I’ve been privileged to speak at various tech events, where I love challenging developers to sharpen their mindsets and think differently about how they build. I’ve also personally mentored over 100+ students, helping them bridge the gap between 'learning to code' and building industry-standard software.

As an indie hacker at heart, I love the mix of building fast and building to scale. When I’m not fine-tuning a Next.js frontend or deep in a backend system, you’ll probably find me watching peak anime or writing technical blogs to help other engineers level up their craft.

Experience

Riseup.ng

Senior Software Engineer (Contract)

March 2026 — June 2026

At Riseup, I architected the core infrastructure for an integrated EdTech and Fintech ecosystem. I assisted in building the backend system design and developed a responsive frontend to support thousands of participants and employers. By implementing TDD and CI/CD pipelines, I ensured 99.9% deployment reliability, enabling seamless skill-matching and seed capital distribution for the Nigerian workforce.

Spot’d

Frontend Software Engineer (Contract)

Dec 2025 — April 2026

I engineered a high-performance real-time messaging system and managed the end-to-end development of the Creative and Admin dashboards. Beyond frontend execution, I optimized the backend system logic for scaling APIs and implemented a secure escrow-to-wallet transaction flow, ensuring creators received their payments reliably and securely.

Saru Tech

Software Engineer

July 2023 — Dec 2025

Led a cross-functional team of 5-10 engineers to deliver high-impact applications including Point of Sale (POS) systems, Event Management software, and enterprise eCommerce and Hotel Booking platforms. I spearheaded the architectural migration of legacy monolithic applications into scalable microservices, significantly improving system maintainability and reducing deployment downtime.

Code Academy

Backend / Full Stack Instructor

July 2024 — Nov 2025

Empowered the next generation of engineers by delivering deep-dive technical training in backend architectures and full-stack development. I mentored over 100+ students, bridging the gap between academic theory and industry-standard practices like Git workflow, API security, and database optimization.

Saru Tech

Software Engineer Intern

July 2022 — Sept 2022

Collaborated with senior engineers to build and debug core product features. Gained hands-on experience in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and contributed to the optimization of frontend components, improving overall application load times.

Education

University of Benin

B.Sc. Economics and Statistics

January 2025

Developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking, data modeling, and statistical analysis skills that I now apply to optimizing complex system architectures and data-driven engineering decisions.

ALX Software Engineering School

Software Engineering Certificate

October 2024

Completed an intensive, project-based program focused on low-level programming (C), high-level languages (Python/Javascript), and modern system design. I specialized in building distributed systems, mastering complex data structures, and implementing high-performance algorithms. This rigorous training bridge the gap between academic theory and industry-standard software development lifecycles.
