I’m a Backend Engineer building secure, scalable microservices, NestJS, and AWS.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 5+ years building production Node.js services with TypeScript, Express, and NestJS—spanning government-scale platforms, fintech, and enterprise systems. I focus on microservices architecture, RESTful and event-driven APIs, distributed systems, and AWS cloud infrastructure.
I’ve led backend teams through architecture, delivery, and CI/CD, shipping secure services handling sensitive data at national scale. In my most recent role, I designed and implemented scalable NestJS and Django microservices on AWS, built event-driven synchronization pipelines, and enabled zero-downtime deployments. Earlier, I migrated fintech backends from DynamoDB to PostgreSQL to reduce latency, integrated Paystack and Flutterwave for payments, and built real-time WebSocket capabilities for enterprise FX trading.
