Hello, I am Seun Awonugba, a skilled software engineer with 4 years of professional experience. My expertise lies in web application development and web infrastructure. I have a diverse job history, having worked in frontend, Android application, and backend development roles. While I am proficient in all areas of the stack, I consider backend development to be my strongest skill.

Currently, I am working as a Backend Developer at PayBucks in Lagos. I lead a team of 6 developers to build PayBucks, a payment gateway system from scratch using Node.js, JavaScript, Express.js, PSQL, and Sequelize ORM. I have also deployed the system to AWS EC2 instance and AWS RDS for data storage and management. One of my major contributions has been developing the entire authentication system, including user registration, email confirmation, login system, forgot password, and password reset.

Prior to PayBucks, I worked as a Backend Developer at Digital Figures in Ibadan. During my time there, I improved API testing speed by 50% and reduced communication gaps between backend and frontend developers by 40% by implementing Swagger UI for Giftly, a product managed by Digital Figures. I also refactored the Giftly codebase to handle and return proper error messages, resulting in a 15% decrease in customer support tickets. Additionally, I created a QA team that ran automated UI tests using UiPath, reducing manual testing time by 30%.

Before that, I served as an Android Developer at AutoChek Africa in Lagos. I contributed to increasing user satisfaction by 20% through the development of a sellers dashboard and implemented Firebase config for help and support. I also migrated the loan service to an origination service and implemented a server-driven UI loan application form, resulting in a 30% increase in loan applications.

In terms of education, I hold a BSc in Electrical/Electronics Engineering from the University of Lagos. Throughout my academic journey, I gained knowledge in data structures and algorithms, database management systems, operating systems, and computer networks.

I have worked on various projects that demonstrate my skills and expertise. Some notable examples include developing a User Account Management System using Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL; building an E-Commerce Microservice Architecture application using Node.js and RabbitMQ; and creating a URL Shortener with Repository Design Pattern using Node.js and PostgreSQL.

In addition to my technical skills, I am fluent in English and possess excellent communication and collaboration abilities. I am passionate about professional growth and have actively mentored and onboarded new team members in previous roles.
