What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote role where I can own high-stakes full-stack products end to end, solve performance and real-time systems problems, and work closely with a distributed team that values correctness, strong engineering standards, and production accountability.

At Interswitch, I own mission-critical payments features from React and TypeScript interfaces through Node.js services, PostgreSQL models, and Kubernetes deployments. I built fuel ordering, vendor management, wallet, and settlement workflows, improving load times 35% on heavy transactional screens.

I've also delivered banking software at Access Bank, regulated pension platforms at Africa Prudential, and remote product features for GoodAction. I build real-time, correctness-critical systems with React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and AI APIs—and I stay accountable for them in production.
