@josiahakpaetuk
Software engineer specializing in web applications, APIs, and responsive interfaces.
What I'm looking for
I am a software engineer with hands-on experience building responsive web applications and financial portals using JavaScript, React, Python, Django, and modern web technologies. I design, implement, test, and maintain web systems—focusing on reliability, security, and performance improvements.
At 9PSB and Igates I developed banking and payment platforms, led API integrations across multiple platforms, and implemented single-page applications that reduced load times and increased user engagement. My work on account management and transaction portals contributed to measurable improvements in system reliability and user task completion.
I collaborate effectively in team settings, use version control and CI/TDD practices, and have experience with relational and NoSQL databases, containerization, and cloud tooling. I seek to apply my practical engineering skills to build scalable fintech and web solutions.
