What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and allows for professional growth, ideally in a collaborative environment focused on developing impactful software solutions.

I am a competent and resourceful Software Engineer with years of experience in providing programming and database expertise, particularly in the financial services sector. I have successfully spearheaded full life-cycle project development, ensuring quality assurance and productivity improvements through innovative technologies and process redesign. My ability to troubleshoot effectively allows me to analyze code and engineer well-researched, cost-effective solutions.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including the development of a third-party loan disbursement system on GTBank’s USSD platform and a transaction management application for UBA tellers. My experience spans various roles, from Software QA Engineer to Software Engineer, where I have honed my skills in API development, backend development, and user acceptance testing. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with stakeholders to design and launch impactful banking products.
