Senior Software Engineer at InfyStrat modernizing legacy platforms into RESTful services and introducing AI-assisted engineering workflows.

Nigeria

Message

At InfyStrat Software Services, I participated in modernizing a legacy enterprise platform by decomposing tightly coupled modules into reusable RESTful services, reducing integration effort for new features by approximately 30%. I also led the adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows across development teams.

At SW Global Limited, I designed authentication and payment services, including REST APIs for PayFixy, and served as Technical Lead for a 10-developer team delivering five production systems. Earlier, I led legacy-system migration at Tenaui Africa Limited and worked on web and application development at AIG Multimedia, DGTrax IT, DapperGeek, and Double Edge Technologies.
