Hi, I’m Funto Awoyelu, a contract software engineer based in the United Kingdom. I specialise in backend and full‑stack development using Golang, Java, C# .NET, and React, with hands‑on experience building distributed systems that leverage Kafka, containerisation with Docker, and Kubernetes deployments on AWS. I enjoy turning complex requirements into scalable, cloud‑native solutions and thrive in fast‑paced, collaborative agile teams. With a background as a programme manager and client‑facing delivery professional, I bring strong stakeholder communication and delivery discipline to engineering. I’m open to short‑ or medium‑term contracts (3–12 months) delivering high‑impact digital services, valuing clean code, robust testing, and principled design.
