I have worked on various projects across e-commerce(https://www.qeturah.com), media(https://www.bigcabal.com), fintech(https://paystack.com), lead generation space(https://www.maptrackpro.com) and cryptocurrency(https://www.buycoins.africa).

Besides building two past products of mine, I have worked in teams and I have led teams while delivering quality and stable production level software.

I take pride in building stable features/products and thus ensure they are well tested with proper monitoring/app health metrics put in place post deployment.

I have extensive experience building, integrating and maintaining various third-party APIs across product spheres and also, I am majorly an API/Backend engineer.
