Daystar Owolabi

I’m a Backend Developer with over 2 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining scalable, high-performance APIs and server-side systems. I specialize in Node.js and Express.js, with a strong foundation in RESTful API design, authentication, database optimization, and payment integration.

In my recent roles, I’ve delivered production-grade backend solutions across fintech and e-commerce-like environments. At Embada, I contributed to a 30% improvement in transaction processing speed and reduced production defects by 25% by restructuring backend logic and resolving performance bottlenecks.

I’m comfortable owning backend features end to end—from architecture decisions through deployment and monitoring. From MyDeepTech and IsabiTech (solely responsible for API development) to MyMeticket and freelance contract work, I deliver reliable APIs that stay consistent over time, integrate payments like Paystack with webhook verification and error recovery, and collaborate effectively in remote Agile teams.
