NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I built PayGo, a full-stack fintech platform with OTP onboarding, wallet creation, Paystack funding, peer-to-peer transfers, and real-time transaction tracking.
I also developed production-ready APIs for e-commerce and MediQueue teleconsultation booking. My work includes JWT authentication, role-based access control, WebSockets, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, automated builds, migrations, and cloud deployments.
I use JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Golang to build RESTful services with NestJS, Node.js, Express.js, Flask, and FastAPI. I also deliver responsive React interfaces and deploy applications through Netlify, Render, and cloud infrastructure.
Before software development, I taught Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics at Trailblazer Islamic School, strengthening my ability to explain complex ideas and build analytical problem-solving skills.
