I’ve built Laravel and MySQL applications for clients since 2023, including a fintech bill-payments flow and top-up ledger with webhook reconciliation. I’ve also run production apps with queues, Horizon, API authentication, and tested admin workflows.

At Best Solution Polytechnic & Best Solar Energy, I built bestsolarr.com and a polytechnic platform with live Paystack payments. I’ve also worked on a Next.js marketplace, a Django REST Framework housing platform, and AI coding evaluations.
