Backend-leaning full-stack engineer building Go/GraphQL and production web apps end to end.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack engineer with 4+ years of production experience shipping web applications across fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS. I’m backend-leaning with deep Go and Node.js strength, and I like owning features end to end—from API design through deployment. I’m also comfortable in remote, async environments and working independently across complex codebases.
In my recent contract role at Ingo Money, I built and maintained core internal tools like Backoffice-UI-v2, SuperAdmin-UI, and KySync-UI using Vue 3, Vite, and Sass. I also helped scale frontend engineering by maintaining shared component libraries consumed across a ~99-repo Azure DevOps monorepo, and I supported an agentic developer platform with Azure DevOps integrations, custom slash commands, and AI agents.
Today I’m co-building Xebo (xebonet.com), a Go/GraphQL backend platform with RabbitMQ messaging, Cloudinary, and Zoho Mail/DNS infrastructure. I’m also co-building Tègbalé, a school communication platform with a Node.js/Express/Prisma/PostgreSQL REST API and an Expo (React Native) app, including real-time messaging and a full auth system with JWT refresh rotation, read receipts, and live notifications via Socket.io.
