What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend-focused roles where I can design databases, build scalable APIs, improve codebases, collaborate with stakeholders, and deliver production-ready systems with room for technical growth.

I am a backend developer with hands-on experience building and maintaining production services using Golang, PHP (Laravel), C#, and Node.js. I have designed databases, created APIs for frontend integration, and improved code quality through frequent reviews and refactors.

I delivered multiple government and education solutions, including school management systems and NIN/integration platforms, and contributed to a bank's online account opening platform and investment app. I collaborate with stakeholders, gather requirements, and translate them into working backend systems.

I focus on writing maintainable code, improving existing codebases, and delivering reliable server-side solutions that meet business needs and scale in production.
