Ola Stephen

I’m a backend-focused full-stack software engineer who designs, develops, and deploys secure web applications using Node.js, Express.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, MongoDB, Docker, and GitHub Actions.

I independently built a production-style digital banking platform with ~20 RESTful APIs, JWT authentication, RBAC, and end-to-end KYC workflows—containerizing backend services and deploying them to the cloud.

In my recent work, I develop production-ready applications with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, and RESTful APIs, including performance improvements like SSR, lazy loading, and code splitting. I also deliver responsive experiences across web, mobile, and Android TV interfaces, and I build reusable, modular UI components.

I enjoy owning engineering from architecture through deployment—integrating secure authentication flows, building reliable backend functionality, and validating APIs with Swagger and Postman. I’m looking to join teams where I can keep shipping dependable, secure features and improve systems that users rely on.
