Profile
I'm a Computer Science MSc student at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, and I came to software through hands-on IT work. I spent five years in IT in Nigeria: repairing computers and networks for clients, building dashboards and an automated workflow system as a data science intern, and later running day-to-day IT support for a state Commissioner's office. That work showed me what people actually need from software, which is for it to just work.
Now I build my own products. My web app NimbleFiles is live at nimblefiles.com, written in TypeScript and covered by automated Playwright tests. I'm looking for a software engineering, full stack or cloud/DevOps placement where I can work on production code and learn from an experienced team.
