Hi, I'm Franklin

Backend Software Engineer

Building scalable systems and robust APIs

About Me

I'm a passionate Backend Software Engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, with hands-on experience in building scalable web applications and APIs. During my internship at HNG, I spearheaded the development of critical features using FastAPI, designed asynchronous workflows that reduced task processing time by 20%, and improved code reliability by 30% through comprehensive testing.

I specialize in creating secure, efficient backend systems with technologies like FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and modern DevOps practices. Currently pursuing my B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Ilorin, I'm driven by solving complex technical challenges and building systems that make a real impact.
