Hi there 👋 I'm
Backend Software Engineer
I build the backend infrastructure that makes things work for global brands! APIs, databases, caching, and automation systems engineered to perform under real production pressure.

My background in engineering gave me a foundation in systems thinking — understanding how things connect, break, and can be made better. I applied that lens to software, and I've spent the years since building backend systems that are reliable, efficient, and production-ready.
I've led teams, shipped features under deadline, diagnosed production incidents in real-time, and delivered measurable performance gains. I write code that solves real problems — not elegant code for its own sake, but code that works where it matters.
What I Work With
How I've Made Impact
Certn — Canada (Remote)
Production issues were reaching support that required backend-level diagnosis, not just surface-level troubleshooting. Escalations needed fast, accurate resolution with no margin for guesswork.
Collaborated directly with internal engineering teams to diagnose and resolve backend-escalated issues. Leveraged API diagnostics, PostgreSQL querying, and log analysis to trace root causes and deliver fixes, managing resolution workflows through Zendesk and Jira.
Liberty Assured Ltd — Lagos, Nigeria (Hybrid)
A growing fintech with multiple live products and mounting backend debt: a CRM that didn't exist yet, an admin dashboard so slow it was nearly unusable, manual customer service eating up team bandwidth, and no internal email infrastructure.
Mentorled — UK (Remote)
Build an AI-powered slide deck generator from zero with a cross-functional team to lead, no existing codebase, and a tight timeline. The goal: turn plain text into structured, presentation-ready slides using NLP.
Things I've Shipped
Engineered the CRM feature for Liberty Assured's PayBox360 platform lead pipelines, stage management, and a round-robin meeting scheduler integrating Zoom, Google Calendar, and Calendly.
Diagnosed and resolved severe load time issues on a lotto admin dashboard. Implemented database indexing, Redis caching, and Celery async task scheduling — cutting load times by 99%.
Integrated third-party APIs to automatically detect and flag loan defaulters, removing manual monitoring and improving operational response time.
Led a cross-functional team to build a web app that uses NLP to turn plain text into structured slide presentations. Built the generation logic, authentication, and all API endpoints.
Built backend endpoints to power n8n and Freshchat automation workflows, streamlining customer service operations across the company.
Building the Product to help Career Professionals Automate their Social Media posts to build Authority, on LinkedIn, Facebook & X.
