@mfonisodonatus
Backend & Full-Stack Developer behind UyoFood, a live food-ordering platform with Paystack payments and real-time order tracking.
What I'm looking for
I designed, built, and deployed UyoFood, a live food-ordering platform connecting customers and restaurants. I continue to operate it as a production service handling online payments and real-time order tracking.
For UyoFood, I integrated Paystack with server-side transaction verification, webhook processing, and split payments between platform and vendor accounts. I also built live order status updates with Socket.io.
I implemented authentication and security controls including JWT, Helmet, CSP, rate limiting, and CORS. I configured the custom domain, DNS, hosting, and Neon PostgreSQL, and resolved a live network-level outage and a customer-facing payment issue.
I work directly with a restaurant partner to ship features for the business. I’m currently deepening my skills in Docker, CI/CD, and AWS, applying that learning to UyoFood.
