About

I'm a full-stack engineer with 5+ years shipping end-to-end web applications — and a backend heart. I'm drawn to the hard problems: designing APIs and cloud infrastructure that scale cleanly, with a soft spot for authentication, financial systems, workflow automation, and clean data modelling. I'm just as at home building the React / Next.js interface on top.

I've shipped production features for real customers across travel, hospitality, digital media and enterprise SaaS — an airline ticketing platform, audit and HR systems, a financial reconciliation engine and more — owning the full delivery lifecycle from requirements and architecture through deployment and post-launch support.

I work mostly with .NET Core, Node.js, React / Next.js, TypeScript and Azure, and I care deeply about architecture, security, and DevOps. To me, great software isn't just clean code — it's reliable systems that keep delivering value long after launch. Off the clock, I create technical content, chase new tech, and game.

Selected work

LT EduSuite — Digital Campus Platform screenshot

LT EduSuite — Digital Campus Platform

2026

My biggest project yet — a white-label digital-campus platform that runs the full student journey from application to graduation, built end to end (frontend + backend). 10+ integrated modules — admissions, student records, learning & content, assessments, CBT examinations, finance, accommodation, timetabling — unified in one branded app, with per-tenant theming, Keycloak single sign-on, Moodle for course delivery & CBT, and Paystack/Flutterwave payments.

Godofreda

2025

The NestJS backend powering Godofreda (by Aimpexx) — a social-commerce app for trading worldwide. I built the APIs and services behind both the mobile app and the admin console, with MongoDB for data, Elasticsearch for fast product search, and the Bank78 APIs for money collection.

LTAudit — LivingTree Audit System

2023

A full-stack audit management system: define the audit universe, build annual audit plans, run audits through review-and-approval workflows, and generate reports — backed by role-based access (audit heads, auditors, reviewers), a live KPI dashboard and a complete activity trail.

PayMata architecture diagram

PayMata

2025

The multi-tenant backend behind PayMata, a payslip & document app used across multiple institutions: at launch each user picks their organization, which routes them to that tenant's own backend API. I also built the PayMata web portal on the same backend, where organizations upload payslips and employee records and fulfil their staff's document requests.
