Lead Software Engineer and Solutions Architect

I lead solution design and hands-on engineering delivery for regulated banking services, including Open Banking, payments, fraud controls, transaction processing, security remediation, and platform modernisation.

I architect Java and Spring Boot APIs integrating modern microservices with COBOL/SOA, IBM mainframe, and DB2 platforms. I have built Kafka-based fraud-alerting services using Docker, Kubernetes, and Istio; supported services processing over 10,000 transactions per hour at 99.9% uptime; contributed to loan pre-approval data pipelines; and delivered resilience, AWS Lambda, vulnerability remediation, and zero-downtime Oracle WCS to Adobe AEM migration work.

I founded Dexspace Ltd and own product, solution, and cloud architecture from concept through implementation, deployment, security, observability, and operational support.

I built The Council, a Java-first AI decision-intelligence platform with specialist AI advisors, peer review, authentication, billing, quotas, persistence, and AWS deployment. I also built Impromptu, an audio-first AI communication coach, and am architecting Runam, a trust and project-funding platform with KYC/AML and verification workflows; I also delivered TheSongApp music-discovery product.

I designed and delivered secure payment and transaction-processing services for fintech and enterprise engagements using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, and relational databases.

I worked in distributed engineering teams and mentored other engineers through code review, pairing, technical guidance, and practical software engineering standards.

I developed Java and Spring Boot services alongside Angular and TypeScript features for a U.S. enterprise sustainability platform used by global real-estate organisations.

I worked with Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, Elasticsearch, Redis, AWS, SQL, Metabase, and platform internationalisation. I expanded BDD and automated testing practices, increasing relevant code coverage to 97% and reducing regression risk.

I progressed from backend engineer to team leader on a nationwide biometric enrolment and verification platform used by the Nigerian Police Force and supporting millions of sensitive identity records.

I translated high-level architecture into Java and Spring microservices, data models, integration flows, deployment patterns, and secure processing pipelines. I led improvements to CI/CD, automated testing, code review, release practices, and mentoring while supporting fingerprint, facial, and iris workflows.

I built resilient Java microservices using Netflix OSS patterns for service discovery, client-side load balancing, circuit breaking, and distributed tracing.

I designed multi-tenant e-learning functionality and secure payment-gateway workflows covering training, licensing, subscriptions, and user management.

I developed C#, Entity Framework, REST API, and relational-database capabilities for clinical and administrative healthcare workflows.

I integrated third-party healthcare services and supported secure handling of sensitive patient and operational information.

I have delivered backend systems through selected freelance engagements in agricultural monitoring, telecommunications number management, and logistics.

My work has used Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, microservices, location-aware matching, tracking, and payment capabilities to support client-specific products and operational workflows.

Graduated with Merit in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
