Hey, I'm Samuel.
Software Engineer
Open to work·--:--
I build web and mobile products, work on backend systems, and enjoy turning ideas into things people can actually use.
About
I'm Samuel, a software engineer based in Nigeria. I build across web, mobile, and backend, mostly using TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, and Node.js. I like taking an idea from the rough sketch stage to something people can use.
I'm also curious about what happens behind the screen: how APIs fit together, how data moves through a system, and what happens when things go wrong. I enjoy figuring out those details and finding ways to make software more reliable without making it unnecessarily complicated.
Some things I've built include Melo, a chat app that helps two people communicate across different languages; DropEnv, a tool for sharing environment variables with client-side encryption; and Sage, an AI-powered communication coach. I enjoy building things that solve a real problem, even when the solution starts as a small experiment.
I'm looking for a software engineering role where I can work with good people, contribute to real products, learn from other engineers, and keep getting better at my craft.
