Frontend Development

My frontend expertise spans translating designs into live websites, web apps, and mobile applications, with seamless API integration and deployment. I have strong experience across various frontend technologies and am currently transitioning to Web3, aiming to become both a Web2 and Web3 engineer.

Backend Development

I have gained more experience with Python/Django, Node.js, and Express, writing backend RESTful APIs . I am skilled in handling BaaS services like Firebase, Supabase, Airtable, and Headless CMS, as well as working with databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL using Prisma. Additionally, I have experience with authentication methods such as Next-Auth, JWT, and more.

Cloud and DevOps.

I have experience in Cloud and DevOps, including deployments, domain and subdomain configurations, and email system setups. I also work with cloud services like messaging, social sign-ins, and third-party integrations such as Stripe. While not a DevOps expert, I am eager to learn and adapt based on project requirements.

About Me

I don't know it all But I always deliver.

That's not just a statement; it's the foundation of my work ethic.

Coming from Africa, specifically Nigeria, I've seen firsthand how talented developers are often overlooked — not because we lack skill, but because of where we're from. Even with the rise of remote work and the advantage of overlapping time zones with Europe & LATAM, misconceptions still linger. Talent doesn't have a nationality — it has drive, discipline, and delivery. And I bring all three.

My academic background? Not elite. I didn't come from a top-tier university or a traditional tech bootcamp. But I came with hunger. Hunger to learn. Hunger to grow. Hunger to prove that what I lack in textbook knowledge, I make up for in real-world results.

I've explored Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), but I don't shine in it and often feel like I'm just cramming for the sake of it. My focus, however, is on solving real-world problems with clean architecture, excellent UX, and consistent product delivery. While DSA has its place, my strength lies in building things that work — and ship. And when it comes to building actual products that work, I show up, I figure it out, adhere to best practices, make it scalable and I deliver. Every time.

I've worked across multiple stacks, handled full projects on my own, adapted to tools and frameworks on the fly, and always held myself to one standard: deliver because someone trusted you enough to pay you. That's integrity.

If you're looking for someone who understands product thinking, writes clean code, and connects frontend and backend — let's build something amazing. I value your time, money, and trust, and I learn fast, adapt faster, and always deliver. Let's talk if that resonates with you!
