At BeatTheLine, I owned the product’s technical stack end to end, from its Next.js frontend and real-time Convex backend to multi-tenant infrastructure, analytics, and testing. I designed customer QR ordering, server POS, a kitchen display system, and an admin dashboard, and created a React Native app for ordering, tracking, and billing.

At Smokeball, I designed a form builder that contributed 7% to company revenue and led development of a billing timer for legal clients. I also created a reusable React component library and helped standardize infrastructure with AWS CDK.

At Andela, I led a monolith-to-microservices migration and developed a payment gateway handling 50,000 customer requests daily with no downtime. I also improved application response times by 23% and hired and grew a serverless team to seven engineers.
