I’m Uzochukwu Nwigwe, a full-stack web and mobile engineer with 5+ years of experience building and supporting API-driven systems across fintech, edtech, civic tech, automobile services, dating platforms, and enterprise applications. I enjoy taking features from product requirements through implementation, testing, release, monitoring, and continuous improvement—especially when it involves secure authentication, real-time updates, and reliable production support. My hands-on work spans Flutter/Dart for mobile, React and Next.js for web, and Node.js/Nest.js for backend services and integrations. I’ve led end-to-end ownership on production apps (including payment-related flows, cron/background processing, timezone fixes, and secure token handling) and I’m comfortable coordinating with teams using Git/GitHub and issue tracking tools while staying focused on performance, security, and user-friendly experiences.
