Senior software engineer and team lead building scalable, secure APIs with Python.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a driven software engineer with 4 years of experience designing and developing innovative software solutions. I specialize in building scalable, secure, high-performance applications using Python and full-stack capabilities, with a strong focus on delivering maintainable code across backend and frontend systems.
Most recently, as a Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead) at VoltisLabs, I led a cross-functional team delivering web, mobile, and game development work, architecting and deploying production backend systems using Python (Django/GraphQL). I guided DevOps execution with containerized environments (Docker), deployment pipelines, and infrastructure management, while implementing authentication systems, real-time features, and optimized database performance using PostgreSQL—then helped launch mobile applications to the Apple App Store and Google Play. Earlier roles strengthened my breadth: I built real-time chat with WebSockets, multi-factor authentication with WebAuth, AWS CDN and S3 integrations, Paystack payments, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, and CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions; I also developed HLS video streaming and Firebase push notifications. I bring a mentoring mindset, rigorous code review practices, and a results-driven approach to shipping reliable software.
