NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a backend-focused software engineer with 5 years of experience building scalable services and real-time applications using Node.js and TypeScript. I have founding engineer experience designing and shipping production systems end-to-end.
Currently, I’m deepening my expertise in Rust and distributed systems through hands-on work building transaction simulators, DeFi pricing engines, and Solana smart contracts. I’ve owned end-to-end backend product development—designing backend architecture, implementing Solana-based escrow and payment flows with Rust and Anchor, and building real-time streaming backend services powered by WebSockets.
