ABOUT ME
Hands-on Engineering Manager
Hands-on Engineering Manager
I am a polyglot, an engineering manager, and a problem solver. I embrace complex problems with the mind of proffering solutions through effective collaboration. I love to hear about creative and innovative ideas.
With over a decade of software engineering experience, I have worked on several projects and lead different engineering teams for different companies sizes from small organisations of about 5 - 20 employees to large organisations of about 1000 - 5000 employees.
I'll be happy to connect and work with you on your project.

I have, in few years being able to work on several web projects using ASP.NET, PHP (+ Laravel), Ruby on Rails and different variants of JS but I am most proficient with ReactJS. That is not to say I cannot use other languages, but I'll mostly prefer JS web projects. I add tone of structure, separation of concerns and re-usability to my web projects so you can be sure of timely delivery of sane projects (with no duplicate elements and components scattered around). With my professional experience with web security, system architecture, infrastructure, API and backend design, I am able to make decisions that helps build intuitive, usable and secure web applications with performance, resillence, extensibility, scalability and reliability in mind.

I have designed, built and contributed to several e-learning platforms, built several complex e-commerce applications and modified opensource project management applications using mostly Ruby on Rails, C#, PHP, Python and JS. I have also worked on several complex enterprise applications with the most recent being for a startup that grew to over 1000 employees in 3 years.
These applications include but are not limited to complex relational data points, ETL processes, data mapping and delivery, realtime communication, RESTful APIs, and secure payment integrations.
My mantra would be "do not use microservice pattern until you are sure you need it"

For a couple of years, I have accrued experience building, managing and deploying DevOps infrastrctures. I have worked supporting engineers on several infrastructural deployment related requests. I have worked mainly with several variants of Linux. I have moved large users production applications from Rackspace and AWS to UrStln bare metal. I have also written several scripts to ease basic or frequently performed actions for other developers and myself.
I have experience setting up APM, CI/CD pipelines, containers and several infrastructural monitorings.

Adebayo was fantastic in the service and professionalism he provided. He fixed my issue in great time and was unbelievably patient with the unforseen issues we had with the server access.
I highly reccomend him and will be sure to request his help again in the future.

As an engineering team lead, I am brought on to solve complex problems the company faces. I manage team of engineers in an agile environment where we create and sought software engineering best practices in order to create applicatiions and innovate solutions that support Andela's business needs.
The roles requires full stack development which means that my development team is primarily responsible for developing backend solutions on a microservice platform that communicates through remote procedural calls (gRPC and protocol buffers for interservice comms) and RESTful gateway. Worked on services written in several languages (Go for API gateway, some services in Python, NodeJS and Ruby). I also worked with the team on several frontends written with ReactJS, Vue and Angular.
I am responsible for proffering system designs and architectural solutions to eased development and increased throughput
