Senior Backend Engineer specializing in scalable Node.js/TypeScript platforms and CI/CD delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable Node.js and TypeScript systems. I deliver complex software end-to-end in fast-paced startup environments, from concept to deployment and iteration.
In my current role as Backend & Platform Lead for P.M. News Nigeria (Remote), I led migration from legacy PHP to Node.js/TypeScript for a high-traffic national news platform. I design scalable APIs, integrate third-party services, and ensure features move reliably through development, deployment, and follow-up improvements.
I’m hands-on with CI/CD and infrastructure—building and managing CI/CD pipelines and AWS infrastructure using EC2, S3, and CloudFront. I also support clean engineering practices like code reviews, enforcing engineering standards, and maintaining clean architecture.
Earlier roles strengthened my breadth across backend and web delivery: Web Developer and contract Solution Engineer building customized SaaS platforms with PHP and CodeIgniter, plus e-commerce development with Laravel and Magento. I also bring leadership from managing school management/CBT systems and developing Node.js APIs alongside PHP-based platforms.
