Ayodele Samuel
@ayodelesamuel
Senior mobile engineer shaping shipped apps with clean architecture and growth focus.
What I'm looking for
I’m a mobile engineer with 5 years of experience contributing to and leading engineering teams across Nigeria and the United States, shipping products at startups and global tech firms. I’ve shipped 8 mobile apps with an average rating of 4.6 and serving over 23K MAU, and I’ve owned end-to-end delivery of 3 gaming products from architecture and development to post-launch optimization.
Most recently, I led full-cycle development and deployment for 3 mobile games, improving animation performance with asset streaming & offline caching, integrating in-game payments and Firebase analytics to improve ARPU by 19%, and setting up automated CI/CD pipelines using Shorebird and Fastlane. I also implemented a data-recovery solution that restored 100% of user accounts and prevented churn after a critical database wipe.
I’m also hands-on with product and team outcomes: I led 4 engineers to migrate to Clean Architecture for a property reviews app across 36 Nigerian states, delivering reliable, scalable performance. I focus on testing discipline (unit testing and higher test coverage), risk-reducing releases (staged rollout and feature flags via remote config), and building secure, compliant fintech flows with KYC, BVN validation, and transaction/repository workflows.
