Kelvin Okpani
@kelvinokpani
Software engineer and former QA lead, building reliable enterprise apps from product to production.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer with a deep understanding of the product lifecycle end-to-end—because I started as an Information Technology Support Staff, transitioned to a Software Tester, then became a Software Engineer. This path helps me connect product/service goals from the perspective of product owners and end-users.
At Ports & Terminal Multiservices Ltd, I lead teams designing, developing, maintaining, and delivering enterprise-level applications using C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, and MSSQL. I also optimize SQL Server queries, stored procedures, and indexes to improve database performance and application responsiveness.
I balance engineering delivery with quality and collaboration: I partner with QA and management in Agile/Scrum teams, manage version control and CI/CD pipelines, and mentor junior developers through reviews and pair programming. Previously, I wrote and executed test cases, conducted API testing, and used Katalon to automate 60% of regression tests—reducing regression cycle time.
