At Bite Agency, I work as a full-stack software engineer delivering multiple production applications and client websites across different industries. The role required balancing speed and quality, building reliable, scalable systems while meeting real business deadlines and evolving requirements.

One of the major products I contributed to was the Medical Residency Trust Fund (MRTF) Portal, a nationwide platform built for the national body of resident doctors in Nigeria. Developed using a PHP framework, the portal supported complex workflows such as user onboarding, structured data submissions, application processing, administrative reviews, and reporting. As a government-facing system with a growing user base, reliability, security, and maintainability were critical. This experience strengthened my approach to database design, API structure, and writing clean, extensible back-end logic that could scale with increased usage.

In addition to MRTF, I worked on multiple client applications and websites, building custom back-end services, RESTful APIs, and responsive front-end interfaces. These projects often involved transactional workflows, role-based access control, third-party integrations, and performance-sensitive features. Working across several codebases improved my ability to quickly understand new domains, translate business requirements into technical solutions, and collaborate closely with designers, product stakeholders, and other engineers.

I built and deployed fully functional websites using Next.js, integrating Contentful as a headless CMS and Neon Db as the database layer to ensure scalable content management and data handling. For projects requiring user accounts and secure access, I implemented robust authentication flows using NextAuth and OAuth, enabling secure and seamless sign-in experiences.

To support business decision-making, I developed custom dashboards that allowed website owners to track traffic and monitor form submissions in real-time.

At Padding Technologies, I contributed to building clean, user-friendly frontend components using React.js and Tailwind CSS, helping deliver seamless and intuitive digital experiences. My focus was on creating reusable, maintainable components that adhered to modern UI/UX standards while ensuring responsiveness and performance across devices.

Collaboration was central to our workflow; I worked closely with teammates on large-scale projects, actively participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and technical discussions to align on goals and ensure smooth delivery.

I also participated in code reviews, offering constructive feedback to improve code quality, performance, and scalability. This not only strengthened our development standards but also encouraged continuous learning within the team.

I worked as the lead developer for a jeweller's e-commerce store which manufactures wedding bands with precious metals, majorly gold and platinum. Due to metal market price fluctuations, prices of bands needed to reflect the present market price of the metals.

For more stability, the London daily fixed price for metals from kit.com was used to update the prices of the wedding bands on a daily basis.

In addition, NFTs were attached to each band purchased from the jewellery manufacturer, which is redeemable by the buyer. A different NFT website was developed where the users could claim the NFT associated with their purchase using their email and unique order number. The NFTs were minted and listed on OpenSea for more exposure, which could ultimately increase their value.
