Message

At Access Bank, I lead frontend development for a customer-facing dashboard, using React and TypeScript to establish reusable component patterns and code review practices. This work reduced feature development time by 35% across three engineering teams.

I built a TypeScript component library with Storybook and improved Core Web Vitals by 60% through lazy loading and critical rendering path improvements. I also mentor engineers on React patterns and performance optimization.

My projects include Access More, a React Native banking app; an AI-powered resume builder using Django and Next.js; and AI Prep, an exam preparation platform for Nigerian JAMB students. I’ve also developed a Telegram bot for cryptocurrency-to-fiat conversions.
