NKAMA WILLIAMS
@nkamawilliams
Innovative software engineer specializing in fullstack development and mentoring.
What I'm looking for
I’m Toluwani Nkama, a dedicated software engineer with a First Class degree in Computer Science from the University of Lagos. I specialize in building robust backend systems and smart contracts, with hands-on experience in fullstack development, distributed systems, and blockchain infrastructure. My work is driven by a deep understanding of systems thinking and a commitment to building solutions that are both scalable and elegant.
During my time at NITHub, I led improvements to a multi-tenancy platform that boosted tenant capacity by over 50% and co-developed an AI-powered exam grading system that enhanced performance and usability for educators. I'm also passionate about knowledge-sharing—I’ve mentored over 90 students and interns in advanced programming concepts, helping foster a strong developer community.
My technical stack includes Rust, TypeScript, AWS, Go, and PostgreSQL, along with frameworks like Next.js, Prisma, Supabase, and the Solana development toolkit. I’ve implemented real-world projects like a MapReduce coordinator in Go, a smart contract-based complaint management system, and a Layer 2 rollup messaging demo using PDAs and Merkle trees on Solana.
I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where I can solve meaningful problems, dive into deep technical challenges, and contribute to products that make a real impact. I’m eager to join a forward-thinking team where I can grow and help drive innovation.
