Evidence Ekanem
@evidenceekanem
I’m a senior full-stack developer focused on scalable architectures, performance, and cost-efficient delivery.
What I'm looking for
I build and lead end-to-end products, blending full-stack delivery with application architecture that scales. I enjoy greenfield development, rapid iteration, and turning complex requirements into reliable systems people can use with confidence.
Most recently, I owned full-stack delivery for a multi-tenant B2B healthcare and insurance platform serving approximately 10,000 users. I led a distributed engineering team with technical direction, code reviews, and mentorship, while designing and building C#/.NET Core backend services that exposed RESTful APIs consumed by Vue.js web and mobile clients.
I’m also hands-on with reliability, performance, and cost optimization. I set up and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Bitbucket Pipelines with Docker-based deployments on Azure and AWS, and in other roles I improved successful checkouts by ~85% and reduced cloud costs from thousands to approximately $100–$300 through infrastructure and delivery optimizations.
From frontend redesigns that drove a 100% sales increase to landing-page improvements that boosted traction by 60%, I collaborate closely with stakeholders to align technical decisions with growth goals. I’m passionate about performance optimization, security-focused delivery, and continuously shipping better outcomes.
