What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering role building scalable web platforms, with emphasis on performance, CI/CD, and collaborative product teams.

I am a FullStack engineer with 4+ years building high-performance web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js and modern cloud tooling. I focus on component-driven frontend architectures and robust backend APIs to deliver reliable user experiences.

I've delivered production-grade projects including an escrow hybrid platform and a scaled e-commerce site serving 10k+ users, improving adoption, reliability and revenue metrics. I emphasize performance tuning, testing, and deploy automation.

My tech toolkit includes PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Prisma, Docker, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and deployments on Vercel/Netlify/Railway; I also integrate payments and third-party APIs like Stripe and Paystack. I prioritize measurable impact — reduced load times, fewer disputes, and faster deployments.

I am collaborative with product and design teams, deliver accessible, pixel-perfect interfaces, and build for scale and maintainability. I seek roles where I can lead technical initiatives and continue improving system performance and developer workflows.
