What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my skills in software development and mentoring to contribute to impactful projects.

I am a passionate software engineer with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Ilorin, where I graduated as the best student in my department and faculty. My academic journey, marked by a GPA of 4.69/5.0 and the University Scholar Distinction Award, reflects my commitment to excellence and continuous learning.

In my professional career, I have gained extensive experience in developing and managing web applications using various technologies, including the MERN stack, Next.js, and TypeScript. My roles have ranged from a Lead Software Developer at SciAfrika, where I optimized AWS for scalability, to a Senior Frontend Developer at NextBasket, where I integrated payment services to enhance user experience. I thrive in collaborative environments, leading teams to promote best practices and delivering high-quality, scalable solutions.
