What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow developer communities and improve developer-facing platforms, combining technical advocacy with practical API/backend execution, clear documentation, and community-led feedback to drive adoption and reliability.

I’m a Developer Relations Engineer focused on developer advocacy, technical writing, and community building that drives adoption and measurable product outcomes. As a DevRel & Co-founder, I’ve worked on improvements that enhance the scanning experience across 16,000+ repositories, making it easier for developers to scan codebases, identify issues faster, and use the platform more effectively.

At GuarantyTrustBank Plc (Squad—Payment Solutions For All Businesses), I collaborated with engineering and product teams to optimize APIs and backend work-flows, improving platform efficiency and reliability by 25% while strengthening developer and user experience. I also supported production features for 500+ users—reducing operational friction by 20%—and represented the team across hackathons, campus tours, and developer events through technical advocacy, pitching, and outreach.
