ABOUT_ME

BACKEND ENGINEER

Computer Engineering student building backend systems with Go, Python, and C++. I enjoy working with APIs, databases, and solving challenging problems through clean, maintainable code.

Recently completed Cisco Networking Basics certification to deepen my understanding of networking fundamentals. In competitive programming, I ranked Specialist on Codeforces (1505 peak rating, top 20% globally), placed 3rd in Nigeria's IEEEXtreme 18, and twice in DevSprint.
