Hi, I'm Arinze Nnaji. I'm a senior software engineer with extensive experience building scalable backend services, microservices architectures, and cloud-native deployments across Europe and Africa. I work primarily with Java and Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines, delivering robust software for financial services and telecoms. I enjoy driving migrations from monoliths to microservices, designing event-driven processes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ship high-quality, interoperable systems. When I'm not coding, I mentor teammates and contribute to open-source initiatives.
