Taiwo Olugbenga

As a Backend-Heavy Software Engineer at CharisIntelligence, I bring over 4 years of production experience, specializing in designing and maintaining scalable applications with TypeScript, NestJS, Node.js, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I am a smart, curious, and continuously learning professional, dedicated to building highly available and performant systems. I am adept at writing clean, maintainable code, utilizing modern development practices like Git, CI/CD, and comprehensive testing.

While backend-focused, I also work with React and React Native, eager to tackle diverse challenges across various tech stacks, including an interest in AI/ML, Data Engineering, and DevOps. Beyond my engineering role, I serve as a Technical Educator, committed to empowering others through impactful software engineering training and mentorship, always striving to be an excellent communicator and collaborative team player.
