Senior software engineer Lagos, working remotely
I'm Bola, a senior software engineer building production systems since 2016. I specialize in Ruby on Rails, APIs, payment infrastructure, and data-intensive products, with strong React, React Native, and TypeScript experience across the full stack.
Available for remote roles and contract work
Selected work
Product work where the quality of the user experience and the reliability of the underlying system mattered equally.
Frontend and platform engineering
Built React applications for back-office operations and an internal developer platform that made complex payment infrastructure easier to configure and operate.
Reduced payment-provider onboarding from about four weeks to one, while improving processing speed by 30% and reliability by 40%.
Product and mobile engineering
Built the Rails platform, React Native app, Next.js web experiences, development harness, and payment integrations as the sole engineer. The platform also includes a new multi-tenant storefront system for partner-branded commerce.
Created an end-to-end bill-payment system serving more than 5,000 active users across mobile and web.
Accessible interface engineering
Built a React interface that replaced a manual payment-verification workflow and improved the usability of a high-volume operations dashboard.
Removed five to six hours of manual verification per cycle, raised accessibility by 23%, and improved Lighthouse performance by 17%.
Capabilities
Accessible, responsive interfaces and product experiences across React, React Native, Expo, Next.js, TypeScript, Vue, HTML, and CSS.
Reliable APIs, background processing, integrations, and data-intensive applications using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, REST, and GraphQL.
End-to-end feature ownership, close design collaboration, testing, performance work, CI/CD, observability, and production operations.
LLM-powered automation, AI code evaluation, model-output grading, and production integrations with Anthropic and OpenAI APIs.
