What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build scalable systems and automation pipelines, integrate services reliably, and use AI to improve product insights—working with a team that values measurable impact and strong engineering practices.

I’m a backend-focused Software Engineer who builds automation-first pipelines and production-ready services that improve delivery, auditing, and user experience. At PwC Nigeria, I led a tooling workstream for a major telecom client, creating automation pipelines and deploying an internal project management and bug tracking tool adopted by 10+ engineers and PMs.

I also enjoy turning complex integrations into reliable products. With Bundul, I championed the migration of payment integration concerns from multiple partners, built the Bundul Report for long-term spending insights, and improved real-time communication by integrating webhooks and push notifications.

Across projects, I measure impact and strengthen systems—at Vzy I helped drive subscription growth, reduced onboarding errors and improved retention, and built anti-bot detection with rate limiting. I bring strong backend fundamentals across microservices and APIs, plus practical AI & automation capabilities to ship faster and support teams end-to-end.
