I am a software engineer based in Kaduna state, Nigeria. My major focus is on web development.
I mostly write JavaScript and PHP. Though constantly experimenting and playing with different languages, frameworks and libraries, my focus right now is anything in the Laravel, React, Vue, and Tailwind ecosystems.
I've always been passionate about learning, so I’m grateful that I ended up in a fast-paced industry where one of the major requirements for being and staying relevant is continuous learning and improvement.
I work remotely from my office in Kaduna, with teams located anywhere and sometimes distributed across the world.
I've worked with quite a lot of client & companies, these are some of the notable ones.
