NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Junior Backend Developer specializing in designing and building RESTful APIs, scalable backend services, and secure authentication systems with Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. I write reusable, well-documented code that integrates cleanly with frontend and mobile applications, and I enjoy collaborating in fast-paced, remote environments.
In my current full-stack work (Book Me Events and Belleful), I lead backend delivery by architecting REST APIs, implementing role-based authentication with JWT and bcrypt, and building scalable MongoDB schemas for real workflows like service requests, bookings, carts, and orders. I also ship production-ready features—deploying live projects and maintaining stability post-launch—while continuously improving API response consistency, documentation, and testing readiness.
