About

From biotech undergrad to software developer, I fuse lab precision with coding. As a founding team member at Passwave, I helped streamline Bells University's ticketing chaos into a seamless digital solution, processing over 1.5M Naira in the first month (and counting!). When not coding, Iā€™m lost in anime plot twists or brainstorming names for my future cat army (still open to suggestions). My goal? To craft tech that makes both humans and cats purr with satisfaction (though cats are tougher critics).

Nigerian Institute Of Medical Research

March 2024 - August 2024
Biotechnology Intern
During my internship at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), I actively participated in various molecular biology projects, gaining hands-on experience in key techniques such as genomic DNA isolation, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, buffer preparation, and DNA sequencing. Additionally, I partook in VIDAS immunodiagnostic assays to detect bacterial pathogens, including Listeria, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in vendored foods. This internship provided me with a robust foundation in molecular biology techniques, preparing me for advanced research and professional roles in the field.

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.

Passwave

Passwave

In May 2024, we launched Passwave to replace the inefficient manual ticketing system at Bells University, eliminating errors, reducing costs, and providing real-time sales data. We built a robust MongoDB backend and user-friendly applications, successfully managing events and implementing secure payments with Flutterwave. Strong leadership and strategic partnerships led to on-schedule MVP delivery and a GMV of 1.5 million naira in the first month.

SnapGram

SnapGram

I initially built SnapGram by following a tutorial, but I decided to expand my skills in backend development. I refactored the project to use my own MongoDB database, implementing Express and Node.js for the backend. Additionally, I enhanced security by integrating Clerk middleware to prevent unauthorized access.

Yoom Video

Yoom Video

I built a Zoom clone using Next.js to support the Passwave team and address the 1-hour limit of Google Meet. To deepen my expertise in video conferencing technologies, I integrated Clerk for secure authentication and used the Stream SDK for real-time communication, ensuring high-quality video calls and instant meetings. Additionally, I enhanced the user experience by providing easy access to recordings in a secure and user-friendly environment

Price Spy

Price Spy

Price Spy is a price tracking tool that scrapes data from Amazon, monitoring product prices in real-time. Once a product is added by a user, they receive email notifications whenever there is a drop in the price. This helps users find the best deals without manually checking prices. The platform uses modern web scraping techniques and a reliable notification system to keep users informed about price changes.
