About

Results-driven Full Stack Developer with 6+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and high-performance web applications, PWAs, dApps, and API platforms using PHP/Laravel on the backend and React.js with TypeScript on the frontend. Hands-on experience with blockchain and Web3 development including smart-contract integration, wallet authentication, and DeFi protocol interaction. Strong track record designing RESTful and real-time APIs, optimising application performance at scale, integrating AI/ML systems (OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, RAG pipelines) and third-party services including Paystack and Stripe, and shipping production systems serving 50,000+ users.

Comfortable across the full delivery cycle: architecture, implementation, security hardening, cloud deployment (AWS/GCP), and team mentorship.

Experience

SENIOR FULLSTACK ENGINEER - ConduitPay - Canada

Building hands-on Web3 expertise alongside primary engineering work - shipping smart-contract integrations, wallet auth flows, and dApp front-ends for personal and contract projects.

  • Developed and tested ERC-20 token contracts and a staking smart contract in Solidity using Hardhat, with full unit-test coverage and gas-optimisation reviews.
  • Built React + TypeScript dApp front-ends that connect to MetaMask and WalletConnect via Ethers.js, handle multi-network switching (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC testnets), and display real-time on-chain state.
  • Integrated Laravel backends with blockchain events through The Graph subgraphs and ethers.js listeners, indexing on-chain transactions into PostgreSQL for fast off-chain queries.
  • Researched and prototyped DeFi flows including liquidity provisioning (Uniswap V3 SDK), yield-farming UX patterns, and staking reward calculators.
  • Implemented wallet-based authentication (Sign-In with Ethereum / SIWE) replacing traditional email/password where appropriate.

SENIOR LARAVEL ENGINEER - Kominiti - Remote

  • Architected and shipped backend services for a social platform combining Laravel APIs with a React-based PWA frontend, supporting real-time interactions and offline-capable user experiences.
  • Built a sophisticated personalised feed engine using graph-theory scoring and real-time signal processing, lifting time-on-platform by 60% and engagement by 45%.
  • Designed and deployed a multi-stage Dockerised microservice stack on Kubernetes with horizontal auto-scaling, achieving 99.95% uptime under bursty load.
  • Reduced average API response time from 450ms to 85ms (81% improvement) through database indexing, query optimisation, Redis caching, and read-replica routing.
  • Integrated advanced AI systems (OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude) for content moderation, automated tagging, and sentiment analysis - reducing manual moderation overhead by 70%.
  • Built RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using OpenAI embeddings + pgvector to surface relevant historical context for moderators and AI agents.
  • Hardened the platform with rate limiting, signed-URL access control, encrypted PII storage, and audited authentication flows.

  • Designed a microservices architecture that reduced cross-service latency by 40% and isolated failure domains for safer deploys.
  • Built a comprehensive REST API consumed by web, mobile, and partner integrations - including authentication, geolocation, payment, and notification services.
  • Integrated Stripe (payments), Twilio (SMS / verification), and Google Maps (geocoding + routing) to power core platform features.
  • Optimised database queries and introduced Redis caching strategies, reducing API response times by 60% during peak load.
  • Implemented CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions with automated tests, security scans, and zero-downtime deploys - cutting deployment time by 30%.
