JG@josephgodwin
Senior backend engineer with expertise in scalable solutions.
NigeriaI am a dedicated Senior Backend Engineer with a strong foundation in computer science, holding a First Class degree from the University of Lagos. My professional journey has been marked by a commitment to developing customer-focused solutions and optimizing backend systems for various industries, including fintech and e-commerce.
At Squire Technologies, I led the backend engineering team, architecting solutions that processed over $2 million in monthly transactions and significantly improved customer onboarding processes. My experience at Breakthrough Ally Inc. and Elen Financial Software Ltd. further honed my skills in full-stack development, where I successfully migrated applications to modern frameworks and built scalable microservices that enhanced user experience and operational efficiency.
With a passion for leveraging technology to solve complex problems, I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to innovative projects. I am eager to bring my expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, and cloud services to a forward-thinking organization.
