I'm Daniel — a backend developer in Lagos with a Computer Engineering degree (First Class Honours) and over four years of shipped work behind me. I spent four years running delivery at a web agency, building and hosting sites and apps for local and international clients, and now I build backend platforms for companies working across African markets.
Most of my GitHub is private client work, so this page is the tour instead.
