Life As A Human

My frontend career started in the early days of dynamic SPAs when Class-Based components were the norm. Six years past, I have worked on engineering teams across Africa, the US, and Europe to build products for the Fintech, Healthcare, and Construction industries.


My work deliverables have required me to learn public cloud platforms for provisioning storage, compute, and deployment resources. I hold the AWS Certified Cloud Practioner (ACCP) , AWS Certified Solutions Architect — Associate (SAA-CO3) , Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) , and Azure AI Engineer Associate certifications.


Outside my work hours, I have the habit of exploring the cities of West Africa and Europe or hiking and biking through the mountain terrains of the United Kingdom.

Life As A Software Engineer

Daily at work, I get to work mainly with various technologies within the vast JavaScript ecosystem. From creating or updating existing React components in a Next.js application to debugging a failing E2E test suite within a GitHub CI/CD pipeline.

My Engineering Projects

Here are some of the public projects I have worked on and the technologies I used to build them.




Event-Driven Currency Predictor

This project was built as coursework for my CST3130 Advanced Web and Big Data module at Middlesex University, London . The application uses an Event Driven Architecture (EDA) deployed to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to pull prices for forex currencies from the AlphaAdvantage API. It also analyzes public news on the currencies to get a sentiment value and stores them into a DynamoDB table for prediction using AWS SageMaker.






Project Components

  • AWS SageMaker

  • AWS S3 Buckets

  • AWS API Gateway

  • AWS DynamoDB

  • AWS Lambda Functions
