About

Professional summary

I am a senior backend and full-stack engineer with extensive experience building scalable platforms across fintech, education technology, e-commerce, payments, and consumer mobile products.

I specialize in software architecture, distributed systems, event-driven architectures, microservices, API design, and domain modeling. I build reliable backend services using TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, cloud platforms, and modern data stores.

In my current role, I architect financial APIs and lead AI and LLM integrations that turn financial data into actionable advisory insights. I also design dependable data-ingestion and notification systems for complex financial workflows.

I have delivered high-impact systems at scale, including assessment platforms processing millions of answers annually, e-commerce capabilities generating over $1 million in product sales.

I am experienced in cloud modernization, security improvements, Kubernetes-based microservices, and legacy-system migrations. I have worked with AWS and GCP to improve scalability, operational flexibility, and platform resilience.

I enjoy mentoring engineers, providing technical leadership, and helping teams remove delivery blockers. I bring a product-minded approach to engineering, combining technical depth with a focus on measurable business outcomes.

Career history

Senior Backend Engineer Wing

I architect and scale core financial APIs for portfolio management, loans, and asset tracking, supporting highly available advisory workflows.

I lead production integration of AI and LLM capabilities to transform financial data into actionable insights.

I also improve financial account categorization, normalize third-party data ingestion, and build event-driven notifications for tax events, transfers, and recurring deposits.

I built an event-driven notification engine for tax events, transfers, and recurring deposits across complex lifecycle states.

I applied domain modeling and backend architecture principles to improve platform scalability, maintainability, and delivery speed.

Senior Software Engineer Acuity Insights

I built and maintained a distributed assessment-processing platform using NestJS, AWS Lambda, and SQS that processed approximately 2 million answers annually. I also engineered a React and Lambda test-planning system with a P95 response time of 200ms at scale.

I led a security initiative to migrate sensitive credentials from codebases to AWS Secrets Manager through a reusable internal library, enabling automated key rotation. I also created a TypeScript CLI for seed-data generation and mentored junior developers.

Senior Software Engineer Fracture

I implemented backend capabilities for photo walls and collections, contributing to more than $1 million in new product sales for a direct-to-consumer photo products platform.

I maintained legacy PHP systems while leading the migration toward TypeScript and Node.js microservices running on Kubernetes. This modernization improved platform stability and reduced downtime during the transition away from monolithic architecture.

Senior Full Stack Engineer Buypower Inc

I built and maintained Flutter mobile applications for Android and iOS for a utility payments and consumer services platform. The applications grew from 2,000 to 80,000 downloads and helped double revenue.

I led migration of a core infrastructure component to AWS to improve scalability and operational flexibility. I also analyzed user traffic in BigQuery to guide daily marketing decisions for a major campaign.

Lead Software Engineer Afrinolly Limited

I led software architecture across mobile applications, web platforms, payment systems, and other digital products serving youth-focused markets in Nigeria. I delivered payment, media, competition, and library-management platforms for consumer and organizational users.

I served as the sole Android developer for the award-winning Afrinolly application, which surpassed 1 million Play Store downloads. I also built LAMP and AWS backend systems, integrated third-party APIs, and selected core engineering tools and technologies.
