Ochuko Ezekiel

I am a junior backend developer specializing in building and deploying secure, high-performance APIs using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. I focus on pragmatic, production-ready solutions and prioritize security and reliability in every project.

I have hands-on experience across the MERN stack, implementing JWT authentication, RBAC, OTP/email verification, and integrating payment gateways such as Flutterwave. I have delivered personal and collaborative projects that include full CRUD, validation, and payment workflows.

In collaborative settings I contribute to code quality, debugging, and documentation; I have reduced integration errors and led MERN sessions to share best practices. I work well in Git/PR workflows and leverage tools like Cloudinary for media management and deployment platforms such as Render and Railway.

I am completing a technical certificate program in software development and actively seek backend roles where I can continue to grow, contribute to robust APIs, and help teams deliver secure, user-focused services.
