About
Onunkwor Raphael is a biotech undergrad turned software engineer who blends lab precision with creative code. As a founding member at Passwave, he transformed Bells University's ticketing chaos into a seamless digital solution, all while maintaining a stellar 4.90/5.00 CGPA and earning back-to-back academic awards. He also built a bioinformatics platform that bridges morphological and molecular data to uncover genetic insights.
When he’s not engineering smart systems, he’s either deep in anime plot twists, sharpening his badminton drop shot to finally defeat his archnemesis Emmanuel (Victory, you're next), or brainstorming names for his future cat army (still taking suggestions).

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

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
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
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 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.
