I'm a Senior Backend Engineer dedicated to building innovative and impactful customer-centric solutions. I worked at a Nigerian fintech startup revolutionizing affordable and secure payment solutions for Africa's underserved markets, currently open for exploring new opportunities. My mission is deeply rooted in empowering financial inclusion across the continent.

I aim to be a Solution Architect. I envision an Africa where fintech infrastructure is as robust, secure, and innovative as that found in Silicon Valley. To achieve this, I am dedicated to:

• Architecting highly scalable, resilient, and secure transactional systems.
• Championing financial inclusion through cutting-edge technology.
• Pioneering AI/ML integrations to reduce fraud in low-bandwidth regions.
• Growing as a Principal Engineer, mentoring teams on building scalable fintech systems.

Secured a robust, event-driven payment microservices system via a Next.js client application that utilizes API key middleware for resource authorization and tenant isolation, multi-tenancy enforced by unique API key validation, tightly coupled with a high-availability event-driven microservices backend.

I leverage a diverse set of technologies to build powerful solutions:

• Optimizing backend architectures for performance and scalability.
• Deep diving into distributed systems and microservices patterns.
• Exploring financial data security in emerging markets, including AI/ML for fraud detection.
• Actively contributing to open-source projects for financial inclusion.

Actively seeking Solution Architect or Principal Engineer roles to apply expertise in fintech, with a focus on African markets and advanced system design.
