I build resilient, high-throughput Node.js backend systems on AWS.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I've rebuilt core backend services for Sety, a safety platform used by Uber, deploying event-driven services on AWS EKS with SQS and Terraform.
At Shiprocket and Getir, I built and operated high-traffic systems, including a Kafka and KSQL notification microservice and AWS Lambda workflows backed by 24/7 production monitoring with New Relic and Sentry.
I've led backend teams across fintech and identity platforms, migrating Youverify from PHP to Node.js microservices and delivering Akufintech's CBN-backed loan platform with CI/CD, Kubernetes, and infrastructure built for millions of records.
