Backend Software Engineer at Bardge building Java/Spring Boot APIs for partner integration with booking and payment systems.

Message

At Bardge (formerly Flance), I designed and built a Spring Boot API that lets partner companies integrate with core booking and payment systems. I also resolved data inconsistencies between backend and CRM integrations, restoring accurate customer segmentation.

At Oaks Intelligence Limited, I built Node.js, Express.js, and TypeScript services and RESTful APIs. I improved database performance through indexing and query optimisation, implemented JWT and OAuth authentication, and integrated Flutterwave and Stripe payments.

Earlier, I delivered websites and payment processing at Cerebral Hub and built WordPress websites for clients at Kreateng Africa. My work also includes contract projects for Grooming Centre and Grooming Health Management Limited, including a loan calculator and a health-plan acquisition website.
