Feb 2026 – May 2026
Remote contract, Toronto
HEAD
Product Engineer at Wealthbeat
- Transformed the entire product into a token-driven design system from scratch in Figma, Storybook, and React (TypeScript)
- 120+ design tokens and 40+ WCAG-compliant components standardized across web and mobile, cutting feature UI build time ~35% across design and engineering.
- Improved initial page load by ~45% (4.2s → 2.3s LCP) using Next.js route-level code splitting and client state rewrites; served runtime feature flags through AWS AppConfig to ship experiments without redeploys.
- • Ran technical reviews for a 5-person team; wired GitHub Actions linting and Sentry release tracking into CI, eliminating ~60% of escaped defects before staging

Remote, London
HEAD~1
Software Engineer at Orion Softwares
- Engineered near real-time inventory synchronization across 3 regions and 12 warehouses (50k+ SKUs) with Node.js event-driven workers, RabbitMQ queues, and WebSocket fan-out, cutting stock sync delays from hours to seconds.
- Reduced inventory search p99 from ~3s to sub-200ms by tuning PostgreSQL with 15+ composite indexes and SQL query rewrites, layered with a Memcached/AWS ElastiCache read-through cache; a 95% latency reduction on 10k+ daily queries.
- Designed and launched the payment platform (Stripe REST APIs, idempotency keys, webhook retries) processing $500k+ annually with zero duplicate charges and 25% higher completion; monitored pipeline health with Prometheus and Grafana, with Sentry alerting cutting payment incident MTTR under 30 minutes.
- Built Kafka Streams ETL pipelines streaming 1M+ daily records to AWS S3, with Python (Pandas, Numpy) transformation jobs feeding a recommendation engine; deployed via Docker, Docker Compose, and GitHub Actions to AWS ECS/EC2 behind Nginx with zero-downtime releases.
Jan 2023 – Mar 2024
Remote, Ontario

Software Engineer at Actualyz
- Built client analytics dashboards in React and Node.js, replacing weekly manual CSV exports with automated data views.
- Added a Redis caching layer in front of frequently queried financial reporting endpoints, reducing backend database load during peak market hours.
- Implemented auth flows using AWS Cognito, JWTs, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure tenant data isolation across client tiers.
- Built the responsive web app for 2,500+ monthly active users, fixing CSS viewport issues and lazy-loading heavy chart components to keep mobile sessions stable.
- Wrote Dockerfiles and configured GitHub Actions workflows to automate staging deployments on AWS EC2.
Jun 2021 – Dec 2022
Lagos
HEAD~3
Frontend Engineer at ARTSLAB Studio Gallery
- Built the gallery platform in JavaScript/React with a Vue.js admin dashboard over MongoDB and MySQL, cutting page load ~55% via code splitting and lazy loading; automated image compression with Bash scripts served through Nginx.
- Integrated Flutterwave for payment collection for gallery events and REST API consumption via Axios interceptors, reducing failed sessions ~30% on unstable networks.
