What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own full-stack web products from database design through deployment, solve real production problems, and contribute to product decisions alongside a collaborative team.

I co-build Khoovo, a live Nigerian multi-vendor marketplace, owning core full-stack development for its v3 rebuild. I also help shape vendor commissions, Khoovo Protect escrow, verified-vendor tiers, and shareable storefronts.

For Primeroute Delivery, I built a MERN logistics application from scratch with Cloudinary uploads, Leaflet live maps, and multilingual support. I deployed it on Render and resolved deployment, Cloudflare DNS, and email-routing issues.

I built Crestview Microfinance Bank's full-stack banking platform, including registration, support tickets, loan applications, currency swap, and an admin panel. I also delivered Movers Bit, a deployed parcel-tracking app with an end-to-end tracking and status workflow.

I enjoy owning products from database schema through production deployment. My Mechanical Engineering background brings structured problem-solving and systems thinking to React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB work.
