about.
Backend, mostly.
I'm a backend engineer based in Lagos, working remote. Over the last three years I've built payment systems, event platforms, and multi-tenant backends in Go, Rust, and TypeScript. Most of what I do comes down to two things: keeping things fast, and keeping things up.
Before this I studied BSc, Environmental Botany and Palynology at University of Lagos — not exactly a straight line to backend engineering, but here we are. The useful part turned out to be the habit of measuring things before claiming anything about them.
I work from Lagos, Nigeria, remote, and I'm most useful on the parts of a system nobody enjoys: query plans, retries, idempotency, the deploy that has to roll back cleanly at 2am.
