About Me
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years across fintech, healthtech, logistics, and e-commerce, currently building core wealth-management infrastructure at Afrinvest (West Africa) Limited. I specialize in backend architecture and system design — microservices, multi-tenant platforms, KYC/AML flows, and financial data integrity.
I work primarily with NestJS, Laravel, and Next.js, backed by strong PostgreSQL and distributed-systems fundamentals. I design database schemas and event-driven, queue-based services, build secure authentication and authorization flows, and own deployment workflows end to end through CI/CD and cloud infrastructure.
My track record is measurable: 35% faster transaction processing, 40% fewer API calls, and a 56% performance gain from a full framework migration. I have led and mentored engineering teams through code reviews, technical guidance, and structured learning paths, and I am currently deepening my expertise in Java/Spring Boot and data engineering/cloud infrastructure.
