CVtoCareer — Software Engineer & Technical Assurance

Jul 2026 — Present

Engineer backend systems and verify release integrity across staging, integration, and production environments.

  • Engineered backend validation engines for social following checks and multi-region jobsite compliance workflows.
  • Constructed admin decision controls supporting real-time media verification, photo validation, and rule overrides.
  • Led database schema migrations on PostgreSQL droplets, orchestrating zero-downtime releases between sprint branches.

Bomcel Digital — Software Engineer

Previous Role

Designed core backend services and billing integrations for high-volume service reservations.

  • Integrated Paystack webhooks with idempotency keys to eliminate double-billing and handle network retries.
  • Implemented Redis caching layers, dropping query response latency by over 60% on aggregate reporting endpoints.
  • Designed IP-based geo-pricing algorithms dynamically computing regional multipliers and VAT rates.

03 / VERIFY
Assurance
Regression runs, edge-case analysis & load checks.
04 / PROMOTE
Deployment
Controlled staging promotion & environment validation.
05 / MONITOR
Operations
Log telemetry, error alerting & uptime tracking.

04 / Engineering Principles

Reliable systems
beat flashy claims.

Writing code is only one component of engineering. The real work is ensuring that data survives failure states, that webhooks are idempotent under network drops, and that changes can be rolled back safely.

I build backend software with an emphasis on clarity, deterministic testability, and operational sanity for the whole engineering team.

01

Enforce Boundaries at the Schema

Data corrupts quietly when business invariants aren't strictly guarded at both the API validation pipe and database constraint levels.

02

Plan for Webhook & Network Failure

Every external transaction pipeline assumes duplicate deliveries, delayed network acknowledgements, and payload retries.

03

Release Safely or Not at All

Environment parity between staging and production prevents surprises. Schema migrations must always remain backward-compatible.

05 / Initiate Contact

Let's build something
dependable together.

I'm open to discussing backend engineering roles, API integrations, and platform scalability challenges.
