What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable backend services and DevOps pipelines—owning API/webhook integrations, cloud security, and CI/CD automation—so systems ship reliably and teams move faster.

I’m a results-driven Senior Python Engineer with 6+ years building high-performance, scalable backend services and end-to-end DevOps pipelines. I focus on RESTful API design, webhook integration, and third-party API ingestion—then ship production systems reliably in the cloud.

At Nigerian Shippers Council, I designed and led backend development of Nigeria's national ERP platform (ERPP), integrating with CBN, FIRS, NIMC, and terminal operators via secure webhooks and RESTful APIs. I architected scalable microservices using Python (Flask/Django), PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, and built robust webhook systems for real-time third-party integrations and automated event-driven workflows. On the DevOps side, I managed AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudWatch, VPC), Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx, and GitHub Actions CI/CD—implementing IAM least-privilege, centralized audit logging, and monitoring, reducing system incidents by 30%, and improving the CAMP portal experience by cutting turnaround times by 15%; I also led the engineering team to reduce production issues by 5%.

I continue to grow across domains—building backends for e-learning platforms (including secure Paystack webhook handling), distributed event-driven fitness reward systems (blockchain + AI-powered reward intelligence), and an AI-powered mental health support platform with real-time chat and secure role-based access. I also bring strong cloud security practices and a growing command of Go for multi-language integration projects.
