About

With over 15 years of experience in software engineering, I excel in developing and managing robust and scalable applications, ranging from small web apps to enterprise-level systems. Proficient in a wide array of technologies including Java, Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Node.js and Frameworks, and more, I specialize in creating high-performance systems capable of handling large data volumes. As a leader, I prioritize collaboration and continuous learning, fostering an environment where team members can thrive. Currently leading software development at MTN Nigeria, I oversee project delivery, mentor junior engineers, and drive innovation in technology and methodology. Passionate about pushing the boundaries of software engineering, I'm open to new challenges and opportunities.
