What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated Fullstack Java Engineer with a strong commitment to leveraging technology to solve real-world problems. My journey in software development has been marked by a focus on building scalable and resilient backend systems, particularly using Spring Boot and Quarkus. Currently, I serve as a Backend Developer at Heyrise, an Austria-based company, where I design and implement enterprise-level solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of international clients, including Biogena in Germany.

Previously, I co-founded Letsellify Technologies, where I held the position of Chief Technical Officer. In this role, I led backend engineering and DevOps efforts, driving the development of innovative e-commerce solutions aimed at empowering MSMEs in Nigeria. My experience encompasses architecting microservices-based applications, implementing robust CI/CD pipelines, and fostering collaboration across cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, cloud-native solutions.
