I have a solid background in software development and a thorough understanding of money and financial systems. I build scalable and effective backend systems using java( Spring-boot ), and I have vast experience at creating and managing vital financial software systems that demand precision, speed, and dependability.

I have worked with cross-functional and diverse teams to produce software products and services that satisfy the requirements of both clients and business stakeholders. I apply agile methodologies to produce high-quality solutions that are delivered on schedule.

In my role as a Java backend engineer, I have developed a strong understanding of enterprise applications, including trading, settlements, and compliance. I have mastered the Integration of third party Api's in pursuit of delivering optimum performance of my applications. I am always eager to learn more. I am passionate and excited utilising my technical skills to develop innovative solutions to complex financial challenges, while also ensuring the highest levels of security and data privacy.

As a part of fintech consulting firm, I am excited to be part of a team that is working to change the face of finance and revolutionise the industry. I am also eager to continue learning, growing, and contributing my quota in building strong and high quality solutions to solving humanity problems in finance, Education, health and agriculture at any opportunity.

Right from childhood the ability to create something that solves problems and facilitates everyday task excited me, this informed my immediate interest when I first heard of software engineering which in my mind according to what my brother who first told me about it during my university days said, Programming is The ability to build something that adds  value to millions if not billions of people. 

My professional  experience kicked off at Decagon training institute where I was trained and mentored on software engineering, after the training we built two projects one is OakLand an e-commerce web application where furniture buyers and vendors meet and transact online and secondly MoneyWay a fintech application that solves the challenges of financial transactions like money transfer, payment of goods and services, bill payments and savings. After this I was retained by Decagon and transferred to their headquarters in Lagos where we built an applications for a client which I cannot  name here because of our non-disclosure contract that expires in 3 years time.                                                 February 2023 I was courted by Spearhead software solutions which is a Tech company that specialises in building application for Financial institutions in Nigeria, ranging from Mobile banking,  SAAS  and MIS applications. Currently I am a part of a team that built a Mobile banking application from the user story up to its current state which is testing on play store and AppStore, we also have built an MIS system that is currently being utilised by two banks  whom are amongst the top 10 new generation banks in Nigeria.  We are currently building a unique SAAS application for our company which we will host on the cloud so that organisations that need the services can subscribe.

Asides my excellent proven attitude and dedication to work, I am an excellent communicator and I bring life the team which motivates people around me to grow together and deliver task on schedule.

In 2012 I obtained Diploma in Law, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe university Awka. I also obtained a bachelor's degree in French from the same University in 2015. 
February 2022 I enrolled and went for a Six months software engineering training at the Decagon training institute Benin City Edo State, Where I became a certified software engineer.
