What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend-focused role where I can build production-grade REST APIs and scalable workflows, integrate payments and auth securely, and keep growing in distributed systems, Docker, and AWS.

I’m a Backend Software Engineer who designs and builds production-grade backend applications. I work across Go, Laravel, PHP, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis—translating business needs into reliable software with clean, maintainable code.

I’ve delivered REST API development, authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC), payment integration (Paystack), database design, WebSockets, and Kafka-based event processing. I also expand my expertise in Node.js, Docker, AWS, and distributed systems while building scalable business workflows.
