Nigeria-based Backend Engineer building scalable, production-ready APIs with Laravel & PHP, Node and Nest Js. I ship real systems, handle real traffic, and integrate ML where it actually makes sense.

• 5+ years building backend systems and APIs (Laravel / PHP)
• Experience with Node.js (NestJS/Express), React / React Native (Expo)
• Built and deployed ML-powered applications using PyTorch & Hugging Face
• Strong focus on clean architecture, testing, and performance
• Open to remote / foreign roles

A clean, reusable way to build powerful filterable APIs in Laravel without bloated controllers or copy-paste query logic.

Built for real-world APIs where filter requirements keep changing.

Why it stands out

• Keeps controllers thin and readable
• Centralizes filter logic for reuse across endpoints
• Scales cleanly as filters grow in complexity
• Drop-in friendly for existing Laravel projects

A production-ready Laravel 12 API starter designed to help teams ship fast and scale safely. Already used in client projects to eliminate setup overhead.

What you get

• Sanctum authentication out of the box
• Opinionated, scalable project structure
• MongoDB integration hooks
• ~90% automated test coverage
• Built for production — not demos

An ML-powered Streamlit app that detects AI-generated vs real images using PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers.

Technical highlights

• Handles CPU, MPS, and CUDA inference cleanly
• Solved common cross-platform PyTorch deployment issues
• Practical accuracy (~85%) on real datasets
• Easy to integrate into moderation or forensics pipelines

A simple, production-friendly logging tool with a built-in web viewer — no SSH gymnastics, no bloated stacks.

Laravel • PHP • MySQL • PostgreSQL • MongoDB • Node.js (NestJS / Express) • React • React Native (Expo) • Docker • AWS (S3, EC2) • CI/CD • PyTorch • Hugging Face • Streamlit

• KISS — keep systems simple and maintainable
• DOT — do one thing and do it well
• Declarative > Imperative — code should read like intent
