What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote software engineering opportunities where I can build scalable AI, fintech, or SaaS products from concept to production, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and contribute across backend architecture, frontend delivery, and cloud deployment.

I've led engineering for four production applications at Circuit Pointe, building ChatVault, an AI-powered knowledge platform with Golang, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Gemini, and Stripe. I also developed Parlez, a language-learning platform integrating speech-to-text and text-to-speech services.

At Abia State Government, I led backend development for the Nominal Roll platform, managing more than 35,000 employee records across ministries and agencies. I built enterprise systems for vouchers, examinations, and document tracking, and mentored junior developers.

I've delivered fintech, developer productivity, recruiting, and video-generation products across remote teams. My ArcheGlobal client project processed more than 34,000 transactions worth over ₦9 million while serving 700+ users.

I take products from concept to production, covering architecture, APIs, frontend implementation, secure authentication, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. I work primarily with TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, and cloud platforms.
