Open to backend roles

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

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

Led the backend engineering for a travel and hangout platform that helps planners coordinate experiences with their community. Supports two models: standard public trips and private plans — each with payments, real-time chat, and identity verification.

BuyBox

2026

BuyBox is a Nigerian e-commerce marketplace where vendors onboard stores, list products, and fulfill orders. I built the backend — owning the full API layer across store onboarding, product catalog management, cart and checkout, payment processing, delivery zone configuration, order lifecycle management, and real-time push notifications for both vendors and customers.

Got a hard engineering problem?

Slow backend, unreliable pipeline, or scaling a product that's growing fast. I'm interested. Let's build something solid.
