Backend-focused software engineer with practical experience building scalable APIs.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I'm a backend-focused software engineer with a passion for building scalable APIs and optimizing system performance. My journey began with a B.A. in History from the University of Lagos, but I quickly transitioned into tech, where I found my true calling. I have practical experience from my internships and freelance projects, where I developed production-ready backend systems that enhance product reliability.
During my time at She Code Africa x Glovo, I was ranked among the top interns, contributing significantly to a food donation platform. I excel in using technologies like Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS, and I pride myself on writing clean, efficient code. My work at GoMyCode further solidified my skills in designing RESTful APIs and managing data flow, ensuring seamless integration with frontend systems.
As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to take on new challenges that allow me to leverage my skills in backend development while contributing to impactful projects. I believe in the power of technology to solve real-world problems, and I am committed to delivering high-quality solutions that make a difference.
