## About

```text
At MeezakTechnologies, I built and maintained backend services across client products including FloFinance, GetAPro, Twinova, MyStore, and Pyramid Global. I integrated Paystack, Flutterwave, and Monnify payments, including webhook handling for transaction verification.

I also contributed to a custom in-house PHP framework that standardized backend architecture across projects.

At Rendria, I built a React drag-and-drop canvas editor with snapping, QR and barcode elements, and a shared text, image, and shape component model. I also built a server-side rendering pipeline on AWS Lambda for image exports, with Cloudinary uploads.

At MOGroupLimited, I implemented CloudFront signed URLs to protect video assets and built secure streaming endpoints with NestJS and Prisma. Earlier, at GetAssigned and TagUAsync, I worked on product features spanning subscription discounts, CI/CD, notifications, APIs, and a website blog.
