Available for work & collaborations
I build fast, reliable products end-to-end, from clean React/Next.js front-ends to scalable Node, NestJS and FastAPI back-ends.

}|01 Who I am
I'm a full-stack software engineer who builds across the whole stack. I'm equally at home wiring up a polished React/Next.js interface and architecting the database relations and APIs behind it.
My journey started with Python, but I fell for JavaScript and TypeScript, and have spent 3+ years shipping production software with Node.js, NestJS, FastAPI and React. Lately I've been building with AI as Technical Lead of UNILAG's Claude Builder Club.
I'm also a final-year, first-class Electrical and Electronics Engineering student at the University of Lagos, so I'm just as comfortable with circuits and signals as I am with code.
Electrical & Electronics Engineering, University of Lagos (2020-2026). First-Class Honours.
