Work History
Frontend Engineer, 11/2024 - Current
Gamp Technologies – LAGOS
• Constructed and shipped a complete admin dashboard from Figma to production for a B2B Mobile Device
Management (MDM) system using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, TanStack Query/Table, Zustand, and ShadCN
UI. Built 9+ core modules (Users, Devices, Orders, Payments, KYC, etc.) used by customer support to
manage 50+ businesses and 1,000+ users. Replaced a manual, outdated workflow with a modern,
responsive interface featuring auto-syncing data and server-side pagination/filtering.
• Improved user experience by separating the KYC process from the device financing flow, removing
unnecessary friction in the UI. Added a dynamic check to verify KYC status and redirect users only when
needed, rather than embedding full KYC steps into each financing task resulting in a smoother and more
maintainable experience.
• Led 90% of the API integrations and full user flows across the admin dashboard, working closely with
backend engineers, designers, and the product manager to translate business requirements into real,
functional experiences. Also took ownership of key modules on the customer-facing web app, including
#HRJ#c203c301-df80-4b03-817c-e3e87260d9de#
Devices, Plans, and Requests—helping speed up delivery on a large-scale build now actively used by
customers and support teams.

state management, resulting in a 60% performance boost and a smoother user experience.
• Led the development of reusable UI components with ShadCN UI, reducing dev time by 25% and
accelerating feature delivery by 30% by allowing the team to focus on business logic instead of building

standardizing patterns for sizes, variants, and layouts to prevent ad-hoc styling across the codebase.
