Frontend Developer · Lagos, Nigeria

I build interfaces that feel obvious to use.

3+ years working with JavaScript, React, and TypeScript across fintech, HR, and hiring products. I care about clean code, good performance, and the detail work that makes things feel right.

About

A bit about me

I've spent the last four years building product UIs at startups and scale-ups across Nigeria — working on everything from payroll dashboards to KYC onboarding flows to hiring tools used by enterprise teams.

I like working in codebases where things are a bit complicated. State management, form validation at scale, component APIs that need to handle a lot of edge cases — that's where I tend to do my best work.

Outside of work I keep up with what's shipping in the React and TypeScript ecosystem, occasionally write about frontend patterns, and mentor a few junior devs in my network.
