I'm a software engineer (backend/data/infra) with a background in college-level mathematics and CS education. Long-time Linux user, Emacs enthusiast, and adept juggler (I occasionally perform for charity and holiday events). I'm fond of expedition and sharp-set for new challenges, with wide exposure to a variety of technologies, problem spaces, and programming paradigms.

My recent work includes backend logic, backend API design + integrations, database schema design, AI-assisted media processing pipelines, and database + server administration for a startup's cross-platform mobile application.

I am a full-stack engineer with over 7 years of experience, recently returning to the workforce after a family medical leave. My last position was in the startup space where I did a little bit of everything. I am open to any opportunities where there is a problem to solve or a product to build!

Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

About me: I’m a software engineer with a strong background in product management, growth and general business.

As an engineer, I have experience building many projects. I recently built Syncosuaurus, an open source an open-source framework to help other developers quickly build real-time, collaborative web applications: https://syncosaurus.github.io/

As a product manager, I worked for both a late-stage start up in San Francisco (Rev.com) and a seed-stage startup in Lagos, Nigeria building customer-facing features and doing growth-related work. Given my background, I have a keen product sense and extensive experience shipping software in a team setting.
