About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Backend and Full-Stack Software Engineer with over five years of experience building scalable, secure, production-ready web applications. My core stack includes PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, Vue.js, Nuxt.js, and MySQL.

I specialize in backend architecture, RESTful API development, database design, authentication, role-based access control, and complex business workflows. I have delivered marketplace, transportation, subscription, booking, payment, messaging, and administrative platforms.

I have hands-on experience integrating payment providers such as Stripe and Paystack, as well as third-party services including Firebase, Checkr, Veriff, Google Maps, AeroDataBox, and Google Cloud Vision. I focus on transaction safety, secure webhook processing, payment reconciliation, and reliable automated processes.

I also build responsive frontend experiences with Vue.js and Nuxt.js, creating reusable components, API-driven interfaces, real-time search, OTP authentication flows, and document-upload workflows. I prioritize maintainable architecture, performance optimization, and effective collaboration with product and engineering teams.

I use AI-assisted engineering workflows, including GitHub Copilot and coding agents, to accelerate planning, debugging, refactoring, testing, and code analysis while independently validating critical business logic, security, and production reliability. I am open to remote opportunities where I can contribute as a backend or full-stack engineer and technical team lead.
