Ifeoluwa Omowumi Okesola

Hi, I am a backend engineer proficient in the use of Node.js and NestJS. I am excellent in working with both SQL and NoSQL databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. I am also familiar with frontend technologies like React.js and Tailwind CSS, and I have adequate knowledge of AWS and Azure cloud platforms. As a system design enthusiast, I prioritize building backend systems that are scalable, secure, and reliable.

Over the past few years, I have developed and maintained production-level applications across different domains from fintech and logistics to nonprofit systems. My experience includes building rule-based systems for driver safety monitoring, coaching automation, and real-time offense tracking. I’ve also developed core fintech systems such as KYC onboarding modules with multi-level identity verification, and high-performance currency exchange logic using gRPC.

I specialize in building RESTful and GraphQL APIs, integrating third-party services, and ensuring optimal performance and security. I bring strong experience in using tools like Swagger and Postman for documentation, and I’m confident with deployment processes using Microsoft Azure and AWS. My approach is clean and maintainable, with an emphasis on extensibility to accommodate future growth or policy changes.

In collaborative environments, I’ve led cross-functional teams, managed project lifecycles, and coordinated code reviews and sprint planning. I’ve worked with various stakeholders, including frontend developers, product managers, and DevOps engineers, to ensure seamless delivery of features and improvements.

I have participated in several notable programs, including the Interswitch Job Shadowing Program (where I ranked in the top three) and the Women Techsters Fellowship. I’m also currently enrolled in a Diploma in Cloud Engineering with AltSchool Africa, continuously leveling up my cloud and infrastructure skills.

If you’re looking for someone who can not only build technically sound systems but also think critically about product impact, user experience, and long-term maintainability, I’d love to collaborate with you. I am available for both short and long-term freelance opportunities.

Let’s bring your ideas to life with code that performs and scales.
