What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior full-stack or backend engineering roles where I can build practical Laravel/PHP and Vue.js SaaS products, APIs and workflow-heavy business systems. I’m available for global remote or EMEA-friendly work from Nigeria and open to genuine visa/work-permit sponsorship and relocation.

Product-minded software engineer and technical lead with a technology career spanning web development, IT consulting and product engineering since 2012. Strongest in Laravel/PHP backends and Vue.js frontends, with hands-on ownership of application architecture, REST APIs, MySQL data models, multi-role and multi-tenant systems, payment flows, queues, security, automated testing, CI/CD and Linux deployment.

At Govware Solutions Limited, I lead end-to-end delivery of production Laravel/Vue applications, translating operational and commercial requirements into maintainable domain models, APIs, permissions, dashboards and workflow-heavy business systems.

Selected product evidence includes RevisionPad, a multi-role education SaaS; Campaign Manager, a multi-tenant campaign-operations platform; a production Healthcare Management Platform covering patient, clinical and financial workflows; and PayOkuk, a live payments and utility-services platform that reached 100+ users and processed more than ₦5.5 million.

I combine hands-on engineering with technical product leadership and business judgment, taking unclear requirements from architecture through production deployment and iteration.
