What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical leadership roles where I can drive architecture, mentor teams, build scalable microservices, and improve CI/CD and cloud deployments in a collaborative, delivery-focused environment.

I am a results-driven lead software engineer with strong experience designing and delivering backend systems, microservices and enterprise applications across finance and payments sectors. I have led teams and projects for major Nigerian banks and payment platforms, implementing CI/CD, Kubernetes and robust database solutions.

My technical background spans Golang, C#, Java, PHP and full-stack frameworks, with hands-on experience in SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle. I have repeatedly delivered production-grade systems such as HRMS, procurement platforms, payment gateways and recharging applications while guiding architecture and deployments.

I bring leadership, technical ownership and a focus on reliability and scalable architecture. I enjoy mentoring engineers, improving delivery pipelines and building maintainable systems that meet strict enterprise requirements.
