I build fast, accessible, production-ready web applications — from pixel-perfect frontends to scalable backend APIs. With 3+ years of professional experience, I've shipped products across fintech, inventory management, and consumer web, working across the full stack.
I believe great software is built at the intersection of clean architecture, strong UX instincts, and engineering discipline. I bring all three.
Backend
Frontend
Tools & Platforms
- 🔐 Auth API — A production-ready authentication service built with Node.js, Express, JWT, bcrypt and PostgreSQL. Full CRUD, refresh tokens, role-based access control.
- 💸 Wallet API — A fintech-flavored backend simulating wallet funding, transfers, and transaction history. Integrates with Paystack. Built for African markets.
Both projects are live and deployed. Check the pinned repos below.
