About me

I am a software engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, with a strong focus on backend engineering, distributed systems, and fintech infrastructure. I build scalable platforms using modern languages and cloud-native tools, and I enjoy working on systems that require reliability, performance, and security.

My experience includes architecting large microservices ecosystems, designing agency banking and core banking platforms, and optimizing services for low-latency performance. I have worked extensively with Go, Rust, Python, TypeScript, Node.js, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, and GCP, and I am comfortable across the full stack when needed.

I have also contributed to identity and access management, transaction monitoring, and AI-driven verification systems. My work has included building ledger systems, integrating SSO across multiple tenant realms, and applying LLMs, vector search, and knowledge graphs to financial intelligence use cases.

In addition to production engineering, I have developed several technical projects that demonstrate my range, including a compiler visualization tool, an assembly-based game, and an obstacle-avoiding robot. These projects reflect my interest in systems programming, education, and embedded development.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Lagos, where I continue to strengthen my foundation in computing while applying my skills in real-world environments. I value continuous learning and practical problem-solving.

Beyond engineering, I take on leadership and mentoring responsibilities as Assistant Software Director at NACOS UNILAG and Team Lead for Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors. I enjoy helping other developers grow and contributing to technical communities.
