I’m Michael Abaniwo, a performance-driven software engineer with about five years of professional experience building and scaling production-grade web applications and high-fidelity interactive interfaces. I specialize in architecting systems that are type-safe and maintainable, using React and Next.js (including App Router and SSR/ISRs/SSG patterns), TypeScript, React Native, and Node.js. I enjoy turning complex functional requirements into robust technical plans while staying focused on real user outcomes—especially low latency, smooth rendering, and dependable real-time behavior. I’ve managed complex client-side state, implemented sub-second real-time data streaming with WebSockets and Server-Sent Events (SSE), and consistently improved Core Web Vitals through proactive prefetching, asset optimization, and careful performance engineering. I also mentor teammates and collaborate closely with design and product stakeholders to ship confidently.
