I’m a full-stack engineer with seven years of experience building and owning production systems using Node.js, TypeScript, and React on AWS. I’ve architected platforms from scratch and delivered measurable performance improvements—like halving stream latency on a live auction platform and cutting page load times by half on a healthcare product—while keeping systems reliable under real-world concurrent usage. Right now, I’m focused on AI engineering through FillydashAI, where I build production-ready LangChain pipelines and integrate LLM APIs, moving generation work into background jobs so the UI stays fast. I also enjoy teaching and mentoring through programs like the Google Africa Developer Scholarship and my years mentoring at SparkplugCode, helping teams ship better products and better engineering habits.…I’m a full-stack engineer with seven years of experience building and owning production systems using Node.js, TypeScript, and React on AWS.

Work Experience

Independent AI Engineering Project at FillydashAI

March 1, 2026 - Present

Built an end-to-end AI career platform that drafts and tailors applications for jobs, scholarships, internships, and graduate programmes. Designed and implemented a LangChain generation pipeline that tailors application content against a target role by wiring LLM APIs into production services. Improved responsiveness under concurrent load by moving slow generation work onto Inngest background jobs so the request path stays fast while long-running LLM tasks complete asynchronously.

Software Engineer at Auction Force

October 1, 2023 - March 1, 2024

Owned the entire frontend of a live auction platform as the only frontend engineer, defining component patterns and UI architecture. Maintained bid state consistency across concurrent bidders using WebSockets and implemented recovery behavior when a bidder drops mid-auction. Selected and integrated the Agora SDK for real-time interactions (operator, seller, bidder), roughly halving stream latency for improved live experience.

Senior Full Stack Engineer at SparkplugCode

March 1, 2023 - March 1, 2026

First engineer at a Canadian edtech company teaching children to code, supporting clients across Canada, Nigeria, and the UK.

Built a companion React Native mobile app and integrated calendar, push notifications, and email delivery services to support learning and engagement workflows.

Full Stack Engineer at roHealth

November 1, 2021 - March 1, 2023

Owned the notification service end to end on AWS using SNS and Lambda, with Mailgun for delivery.

Delivered React and Next.js interfaces alongside TypeScript and PHP APIs running on Lambda, while driving product and design decisions by mapping user journeys up front.

Frontend Engineer at Fitted.ng

October 1, 2019 - November 1, 2021

Took an admin dashboard and a Shopify-integrated order management system from scope to delivery using React and Shopify Liquid. Proposed and built USSD and IVR ordering flows for customers without reliable web access, expanding the ordering experience beyond traditional browsers.

Backend Engineering Intern at Merignos

June 1, 2019 - September 1, 2019

Built foundational backend capabilities by creating Express.js REST APIs and MongoDB schemas, including an index rework that cut query times by 30%. Learned Agile delivery practices such as sprint ticketing, code review, and collaborative Git branching workflows.
