Toyyib Akande Adetunji

I am a Product Engineer with over six years of professional experience spanning backend development, system architecture, and product strategy. With a strong foundation in PHP and Laravel, I specialize in building robust, scalable, and user-focused solutions that align business goals with technical execution.

My journey in tech began with a passion for solving real-world problems through code. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to projects across financial services, service marketplaces, and internal tooling—often at the intersection of engineering and product. In every role, I’ve championed best practices such as SOLID principles, test-driven development, clean architecture, and agile collaboration. I’ve integrated APIs, built end-to-end features, scaled systems to serve thousands of users, and ensured that quality, security, and maintainability are always part of the equation.

Beyond engineering, I’ve also served as a Technical Product Manager, leading cross-functional teams, defining roadmaps, and driving products from concept to launch. This dual perspective allows me to approach development with a strong awareness of user experience, business context, and long-term maintainability. I understand that writing great code is only part of the job—understanding why we're building something is just as important as how.

I thrive in environments where collaboration is valued and where product thinking and technical excellence go hand in hand. I enjoy pair programming, mentoring junior developers, participating in code reviews, and contributing to a shared engineering culture of curiosity and continuous improvement.

I hold a Global Talent Visa valid until 2028, which allows me to work in the UK without requiring employer sponsorship. I'm excited to bring not just technical expertise, but product intuition, a strong collaborative spirit, and a user-first mindset to every team I join.

When I’m not writing code or mapping out features, I enjoy exploring new web technologies, reading about digital transformation in the public sector, and mentoring early-career developers.
