Software engineer building production systems for Nigerian clients, including a custom Next.js e-commerce storefront.

Nigeria
Message

I build and maintain production e-commerce systems for Nigerian clients as an independent software engineer. For Kidoclassic Mall, I integrated ALAT Pay bank transfer checkout with a live payment provider API and am migrating its WooCommerce store to a custom Next.js storefront deployed as a Node.js app.

At CerviTech, via UNILAG AfreTec Digital Skills Marketplace, I designed and maintained Node.js, Express, and TypeScript APIs, integrated PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and built Redis-backed background job processing with BullMQ. I also supported a rebuild of the company website in React and TypeScript.

My final-year project connects sensors, ESP32, LoRa, and ThingsBoard to a React and Node.js dashboard for monitoring and controlling solar-powered cold storage. I’m building an anomaly detection and predictive monitoring layer over live sensor streams, and I’m also developing an edge ML portfolio.
