Clinton Agada

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience building scalable frontend and full-stack solutions that drive measurable business impact. I work primarily with React, TypeScript, and Node.js, and I have deep experience in API design, third-party integrations, and mentoring developers.

What I do

I architect and deliver user-facing features and backend systems for web and SaaS products. I have led zero-downtime database migrations (MongoDB to PostgreSQL), built BPMN 2.0 editors and process-modeling tools for enterprise customers, and optimized frontend performance, reducing load times from ~15s to under 5s. I also design and maintain component libraries and design systems (Material-UI, Radix/Shadcn, Storybook) used across multiple applications.

Industries and impact

I have worked in healthcare (Ishi Health), eCommerce and brand incubators (Function Growth, Shady Rays, Wellow), enterprise SaaS (ValueBlue), and client-focused delivery (Andela/Omaze, IDEO.org). Outcomes I have delivered include: 70%+ page-load improvements, 30%+ operational cost reduction, 30%+ revenue increase via cart and recommendations, 20%+ reduction in support tickets with an AI Assistant, 40%+ adoption increase for a survey feature, and 10+ developers mentored across roles.

Technical focus

Frontend: React (8 years), TypeScript, Next.js, Remix, React Router, Redux/TanStack Query, Tailwind CSS, component libraries, and design systems.

Backend: Node.js (8 years), Express, Laravel, REST APIs, GraphQL.

Data: PostgreSQL, Prisma, TypeORM, migrations, and query optimization.

I use Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright for testing, and GitHub Actions/CircleCI for CI/CD. I am comfortable with AWS, Docker, and Terraform.

How I work

I take full ownership of features from concept to deployment, collaborate closely with product and design, and focus on user experience and business outcomes. I am based in Abuja, Nigeria, and experienced with remote and distributed teams. I am fluent in English and eager to work on products that combine strong UX with solid engineering.
