What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote full-time, contract, or freelance roles where I can solve real problems and ship production-ready full-stack products end to end—UI/UX, APIs, and deployment included.

I’m a problem-driven full-stack developer with 3 years of experience building production-ready web applications. I don’t build for the sake of building—I find real problems and ship solutions that work. I’m comfortable across the full stack, from pixel-perfect UIs to REST APIs and cloud infrastructure.

I’m the founder of Ekmark, a free SaaS image watermarking tool launching June 2026. I’m handling the full product journey end-to-end as a solo founder—architecture, UI/UX, backend, deployment, SEO, and pre-launch marketing—so the experience is fast, reliable, and genuinely useful.

As a freelance full-stack developer (self-employed), I delivered TheNigerianProperties, a property listing platform with search, filtering, an admin panel, an agent dashboard, and an in-site enquiry system that routes buyer details to agents. I bring strong engineering fundamentals—validation, rate limiting, deployment, and clean data workflows—into every release.
