What I'm looking for

I'm seeking roles across software engineering, full-stack and mobile development, Python, and AI/ML application development, as listed in my target roles.

At WORKLINK NEXUS LTD, I designed and developed WorkLink, a digital marketplace connecting customers with verified artisans and local service providers. I shaped a unified account and mode-switching experience for customers and service providers.

I developed mobile app functionality with React Native and Expo, integrated backend services and REST APIs, and implemented OTP-based authentication and account verification. I also designed PostgreSQL-backed structures and payment, escrow, and commission workflows.

I explored concepts for AI-powered job matching, worker verification, trust systems, and location-based discovery. Earlier, as an Engineering Intern / Technical Operations at SAPELE POWER PLC — Sapele Steam Power Station, I participated in operations and maintenance activities and assisted with electrical troubleshooting.
