Senior full-stack engineer building high-performance fintech and AI-enabled platforms from MVP to production.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over a decade of experience designing, building, and scaling robust web and mobile applications. I thrive when I can bridge frontend and backend engineering to deliver products end-to-end—from ideation to launch—especially in fintech, AI-enabled platforms, and agritech.
At Utraspeed Inc, I lead cross-functional teams across frontend, backend, and mobile to deliver high-quality digital products. I architected and deployed Ekuabo, integrating multi-currency payment gateways (Paystack, Stripe), advertising management systems, and wallet infrastructures, while championing MVPs, pilots, and public production launches.
Previously at IITA (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture), I developed scalable REST APIs used by 100k+ users monthly and built internal admin and analytics dashboards that improved operational efficiency by 50%. I led migration from monolithic architecture to modular microservices, improved frontend performance scores from 58 to 92 using Next.js optimization techniques, and built workflow automation integrating Slack, Google Workspace, payment APIs, and CRM platforms.
I bring strong technical product strategy and delivery leadership, including technical product strategy, agile/sprint planning, code reviews, and engineering mentorship. My work is grounded in secure API design, database schema design (PostgreSQL/Prisma), automation, and emerging AI capabilities like Local LLM orchestration, RAG systems, AI agents, and workflow automation.
