Backend-Focused Full Stack Engineer | Node.js | TypeScript | Systems that scale
I specialize in Node.js/TypeScript backends that scale - building secure, production-grade systems designed for reliability, speed, and real-world impact.
Backend-focused full stack engineer with hands-on experience building production systems from scratch. I design scalable APIs, implement secure authentication flows, and optimize performance through strategic caching and queue management. I focus on shipping reliable, maintainable code that serves real business goals.
What I bring:
- Scalable Architecture: Multi-tenant API design with RBAC, queue management, and real-time capabilities
- Security-First: OAuth/JWT auth flows, role-based access control, and payment integrations (Paystack)
- Performance: Redis caching, async queue processing, rate limiting, and optimized database queries
- DevOps Maturity: Docker containerization, Nginx reverse proxy, Linux server management

Data & Infra:
Auth & Payments:
- Production APIs built for real-world traffic and operational reliability
- Secure auth systems with OAuth and JWT for business-critical apps
- High-performance Redis-backed services and async queue management
- Admin platforms with RBAC for operations teams
- Full-stack systems designed for scale, not demos
- Scalable API architecture with load balancing
- Caching strategies (Redis, CDN, in-memory)
- Queue-based async processing
- Rate limiting and abuse prevention
- Fault tolerance and graceful degradation
TOLI-TOLI -- Live Frontend 
A production-grade advance transport booking platform - think Uber, built for scheduled rides. Passengers book trips in advance, drivers receive automated FCM alerts, and a unique seat management system lets drivers reserve slots for their own agents/regular customers per route. Real-time updates via Socket.io, secure payments via Paystack, and full OAuth/JWT auth - serving passengers, drivers, and admins in one unified system.
This repository is private as TOLI-TOLI is being developed for commercial use. The codebase is available for review upon request - feel free to reach out.
Engineering highlights:
- Designed a multi-role system (passengers, drivers, admins) with full RBAC from scratch
- Built a real-time seat reservation engine with Redis to prevent double-booking
- Implemented async notification queues with FCM for reliable driver alerting
- Deployed with Docker and Nginx with environment-based configuration
Node.js Express MySQL Redis React Vite Socket.io FCM JWT OAuth Paystack Docker Nginx
A full-stack e-commerce platform where registered users can browse, search, and order products with a fast-loading UI. Features product categorization, search querying, persistent cart management, secure checkout, and Paystack payment integration. Separate admin and user dashboards for full operational control.
Engineering highlights:
- Built product search with indexed queries and category-based filtering
- Implemented JWT session management with OAuth social login
- Optimized frontend bundle with Vite for fast initial page loads
- Designed dual-dashboard architecture separating admin and user concerns
Node.js Express MongoDB React Vite Paystack JWT OAuth
An early-stage transport booking MVP sharing TOLI-TOLI's core booking flow - passengers book rides in advance, drivers get notified, seat availability is managed per route, and payments are processed via Paystack. Built as a rapid iteration MVP to validate core booking functionality.
