I build resilient backend systems and full-stack products that scale reliably.

I've built Voila Africa's platform connecting 600+ students with scholarships and internships, owning product direction and the full technical stack as Founder and CTO.

I architected its PostgreSQL backend with 122 row-level security policies, 82 SECURITY DEFINER functions, and a 71-migration schema. I also built a distributed Node.js and TypeScript pipeline that aggregates opportunities from five external sources.

At AmaliTech, I engineered RideConnect's PostgreSQL data layer and shipped REST APIs for posting, browsing, and searching rides. Previously at Oddys, I improved search relevance by 47%, indexed 500+ listings daily, and implemented OAuth, JWT, and RBAC for 1,000+ active users.

My projects include a payment-secured data reseller platform and a real-time campus shuttle tracker that reduced trip-history API latency from two seconds to 200ms for 2,000+ students.
