Senior Backend Engineer & Cloud Architect · Lagos State, Nigeria
I build dependable backend software and the cloud infrastructure that helps products grow.
I like solving hard technical problems and turning them into software people can rely on.
For over six years I've built backend systems and web products. My tools include JavaScript and TypeScript. I also work with Python and Go plus React and Next.js. I build on AWS and Google Cloud. I design CI/CD pipelines that help teams ship with confidence.
I care about clear systems and reliable integrations. I think carefully about what can fail and how to recover. I enjoy working with teams from the first idea through launch and the improvements that follow.
Writing is a hobby. I share what I'm learning and think through ideas in public. Sometimes I post a regular mind dump. I hope you find something useful here.
