What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote contract or full-time backend roles where I can build secure, observable APIs with AI-augmented capabilities—especially rate limiting, abuse detection, and reliable fintech-style systems.

Backend software engineer with production experience across Python (FastAPI, Flask) and Node.js/TypeScript, building REST APIs, relational data systems (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and AI-augmented backend systems including Claude/Anthropic API integration for rate limiting, abuse detection, and workflow automation. A biochemistry background from Obafemi Awolowo University adds strong analytical rigor to data-heavy and fintech-style systems. Delivered projects spanning a production-grade API gateway with AI-driven security, a fintech ledger microservice, a loan management API, and AI-powered automation tools. Based in Lagos, Nigeria; open to remote contract and full-time backend roles internationally.
