Open to backend roles

I build the systems your users never see, but always depend on.

Backend engineer with a focus on distributed systems, AI pipelines, and APIs built to last. I care about correctness, observability, and shipping things that actually hold up.

A bit about me

Backend engineer based in Lagos, building infrastructure for fintech and marketplace products. I work mostly in TypeScript and Go: payment systems, card issuance pipelines, async message queues, real-time APIs. I've been doing this professionally since 2022. I care a lot about systems that are correct, observable, and don't page you at 3am.
