## About

```text
At Terawatt Energies, I build backend services for the TWOS-Gateway I, ingesting device telemetry over MQTT and exposing it through a Django/DRF API. I also wrote a Go ingestion service and a simulator that replays production gateway traffic for load testing and field-bug reproduction.

I designed and shipped the gateway OTA pipeline and captive-portal provisioning flow, and shipped the customer-facing React Native app for authentication, device pairing, live telemetry, and OTA status. I own backend services end-to-end across Django, Celery, and PostgreSQL, and set up the CI/CD path from PR to production.

At Pearmonie, I designed an optimistic-debit wallet with asynchronous reconciliation and owned payment integrations with Paystack, Flutterwave, Mono, and direct bank rails. I also led the backend team’s planning, system-design reviews, mentorship, on-call rotation, and incident response.

My work spans fintech, payments, and energy systems, including custodial crypto wallets and fiat settlement at Kwickswap Technologies. I work primarily in Python and Django, with experience in Go, TypeScript, Node.js, and Rust, and focus on correctness in systems that move money.
