What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, user-centric software with a collaborative team, contribute to large-scale projects, mentor others, and solve meaningful technical problems in a remote-friendly environment.

I'm the backend engineer for Adaptive Computer Solutions' MyMTN app, building scalable Golang solutions for customer-facing components serving over 4,000,000 customers. I've also onboarded new hires and been promoted to Lead Software Engineer.

Previously at VIAMO, I developed Laravel backend solutions for the Votomobile Platform and established servers at Airtel's Nigeria and Vodafone's Ghana data centers to reduce international delivery-node costs.

I've built products across web, mobile, and immersive learning, including VR interactions for teaching electronics at Nubian VR, an SMS/voice learning solution for teenage pregnant women in Liberia, and a Kinect-based mobile dance game.

I bring 10+ years of full-stack experience across React, Laravel, and Golang, with a focus on user-centric, scalable, error-free software. I also enjoy mentoring, remote collaboration, and strengthening team problem-solving through practical initiatives.
