What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation in healthcare technology, offers opportunities for collaboration, and encourages professional growth.

I am a dedicated software developer with extensive hands-on experience in building modular backend systems and full-stack enterprise healthcare applications. My journey in technology has been marked by a proven track record in utilizing frameworks such as Spring Boot and ReactJS, along with programming languages like Java and Python. I have a strong focus on data integration and predictive analytics, which has allowed me to enhance real-time clinical decision-making tools effectively.

Currently, I serve as a Senior PHI Software Developer at PHIS3, where I have developed and maintained backend systems for Nigeria’s national medical record platform, NigeriaMRS. My role involves creating custom modules that integrate seamlessly with OpenMRS and collaborating with data science teams to implement predictive models. I take pride in ensuring API reliability and optimizing database access, which has significantly improved the efficiency of healthcare delivery in real-world environments.
