Java backend engineer building scalable, secure systems with Spring Boot and PostgreSQL.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Java backend engineer focused on building scalable, high-performance applications using Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Keycloak for secure identity and role-based access. I design clean, testable code following Hexagonal Architecture and integrate third-party APIs to deliver robust backend solutions.
At VentureCloud I implemented MOIC calculations, integrated Google Sign-in and SendGrid, and delivered investor-focused features. Previously at Enum Africa I developed a dynamic shortlisting system, a Reference Data API, and optimized search with Elasticsearch.
I also tutor beginner programmers part-time, mentoring students in Java, HTML, CSS, and block-based platforms, and I build personal projects such as a food-ordering backend and an ecommerce platform to continuously expand my technical expertise.
