Abisayo Paul Ademola

I am a seasoned Software Engineer with a diverse and enriching background, specializing in both GoLang and PHP. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in building robust and secure backend systems, leveraging various databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL. My expertise extends to cloud platforms, including AWS, GCP, and Digital Ocean, and I am well-versed in containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. Additionally, I have a strong foundation in web server configuration using Nginx in Linux environments.

In my current role as a Software Engineer at REIPrintMail, a remote position based in the USA, I am responsible for developing a secure authentication service. This involves seamless integration with Supabase and utilizing Kong as an API gateway. I contribute not only to the core functionality of the service but also enhance team productivity by developing utilities and services in GoLang. My commitment to quality is evident in the comprehensive approach I take, including writing API specifications, tests, and documentation for each service. I actively engage in code reviews and pair programming sessions to maintain high coding standards.

As the Lead Software Engineer at Luudu, another remote position in the USA, I played a pivotal role in conceptualizing and deploying an application from the founder's idea. This involved integrating advanced features of Stripe and Paystack APIs to enable functionalities like recurring debits. At Sendchamp, a remote role based in Nigeria, I optimized Golang services, significantly reducing response times. I led collaborative efforts to develop new features and enhance service reliability to meet the dynamic business demands.

My experience extends to founding roles, such as at Pipeops in Lagos, Nigeria, where I built REST API controllers using Golang and PostgreSQL. I worked extensively with Kubernetes API on AWS EKS clusters, implementing features like fetching pod logs and metrics. I also demonstrated leadership as the Lead Software Engineer at Vensle in the United Kingdom, where I modernized PHP applications and established standard development procedures.

Beyond technical expertise, I have a strong leadership background. As an Ingressive Campus Ambassador, I organized tech meetups, fostering community growth. Additionally, as a Codulab CodeClass Campus Ambassador, I facilitated weekly code teaching sessions and organized hackathons. My educational background includes a BSC in Computer Science from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria, where I honed my technical skills and laid the foundation for my career.

In summary, I am a results-oriented Software Engineer with a passion for innovation, a knack for problem-solving, and a proven track record of leadership in both technical and community-driven initiatives.
