What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to develop my skills.

I'm a dedicated backend developer with a strong foundation in computer science, having graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in August 2023. My journey in software development began with a passion for creating efficient and scalable applications. I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position at Klimotech, where I develop high-performance APIs using NestJS and RabbitMQ. My commitment to quality is reflected in my comprehensive API documentation and adherence to OpenAPI specifications.

Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, and various database systems, including PostgreSQL and MySQL. My experience spans from junior backend developer roles to my current position, where I continuously strive to enhance my skills and contribute innovative solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver user-friendly applications and ensure project success.
