I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, focused on building scalable, user-first web applications for fintech and SaaS products. I specialize in JavaScript and TypeScript, and I use React and Next.js to ship secure, high-performance interfaces—often across multiple applications that share a unified design system and component library. Across my career, I’ve led frontend rebuilds, modernized React/Next.js versions, and improved delivery quality through testing, performance optimization, and frontend security hardening (like CSP and security headers). I enjoy collaborating with distributed, cross-functional teams and mentoring engineers to help products meet both business goals and regulatory requirements.

Senior Frontend Engineer at 3line Lagos, Nigeria
August 1, 2023 - Present
Led the full frontend rebuild of Medusa, a Payment Terminal Service Provider platform licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria, across two applications (merchant and admin portals). Architected a shared design system and component library spanning 60 modules across both codebases. Migrated from Next.js 13 to 15 (App Router) and React 18 to 19, rebuilding UI across both applications. Reduced deployed Docker image size from 4.9 GB to 370 MB by introducing standalone output and multi-stage builds, and addressed dependency drift to restore reproducible installs. Hardened client security by adding Content-Security-Policy and related security headers, and restricting devtools access in production. Introduced unit testing to a codebase with no prior coverage and improved runtime performance by eliminating redundant API calls.
