I’m a developer who specializes in building scalable backend systems with Spring Boot and cloud-native technologies from Nigeria.
I’m Segun Kasim, a Java backend developer with over 3 years of experience architecting and implementing microservices, cloud integrations, and performance-critical systems for the fintech and agri-tech sectors. I thrive in high-impact environments where speed, security, and scalability are critical. My expertise spans Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines, and I have a strong passion for developer productivity—reflected in my integration of AI tools like GitHub Copilot to cut dev time and reduce bugs.
What sets me apart is my AI-first mindset and ability to bridge backend engineering with real-world impact. I’ve led engineering teams, migrated entire platforms to the cloud, and worked across domains including payments, agency banking, and data-driven agriculture solutions. I’m not just building systems—I’m building for scale, reliability, and user success.
