I'm a backend developer with experience in building website APIs from scratch and working with relational or non-relational databases, and cloud platforms. I excel at identifying and addressing complex technical challenges. I enjoy taking on coding challenges and teaching others how to tackle complex programming problems.

As a Backend developer, I've designed and developed a robust Python REST API using Flask, integrated with an SQL Server database, containerised with Docker, and deployed on Azure Cloud Services. Implemented CI/CD pipelines to automate the testing, building, and deploying of the API. Wrote comprehensive unit and integration tests for the APIs to ensure reliable functioning.

Developed and maintained API that extracts data from platforms including Google, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, and Facebook, utilising their respective APIs. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure that the APIs were meeting business requirements, contributed to the development of technical documentation, conducted code reviews and implemented best practices.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Covenant University. I graduated with a CGPA of 4.85 out of 5, placing me as the second-best student in my department. During my time in university, I was actively involved in sports and held leadership roles in various organisations. I received the Outstanding Leader award in my third year. In my fifth year, my team participated in a competitive programming competition (ACPC) and placed third in West Africa.
