What I'm looking for

I'm available for Lagos onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles where I can build and operate secure backend, platform, banking, payments, or commerce systems.

I've built and operated production software for 15 years, including secure banking, payments, commerce, and job-discovery platforms. At Almond Systems, I deployed a Spring Boot internet-banking platform with live OpenAPI documentation and built JobRadar, which processes jobs from 20+ employer ATS boards and public APIs every two hours.

I lead backend architecture for revire.one and pos.revire.one, delivering Node.js/NestJS and Python/FastAPI services across customer, business, and point-of-sale workflows. I provision and administer AWS EC2 and GCP production environments with Docker, Nginx, SSL/TLS, CI/CD, monitoring, backups, and incident response at 99.9% uptime.

My work includes delivering Sterling Bank internet banking and integrating Interswitch, Flutterwave, Paystack, GTPay, and Netplus under PCI-DSS constraints. I've also built Magento 2 APIs for MTN eShop, real-time chat services at Zendwave, and enterprise integrations at VDT Communications.

I'm an Oracle Certified Professional in Java and bring hands-on experience across Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, AWS, cloud operations, API design, and resilient distributed systems.
