Professional Experience
Senior Data Engineer (Compute Lead)
Qhala
Progressed from Junior to Senior Engineer, owning end-to-end backend systems, microservices architectures, and operational platforms across multi-country deployments serving millions of users.
Senior Backend Engineer – CANEX Platform
Architected and operated distributed microservices using Java and Spring Boot, leveraging Kafka, Redis, Kubernetes, and Grafana for production-scale reliability.
Senior Backend Engineer – IATF Platform
Built secure, compliant backend services using event-driven architecture with Kafka and Redis, deployed on Kubernetes with full observability.
Data Pipeline & Operations Lead
Designed and operated scalable event-driven data pipelines using Kafka and Airflow, ingesting multi-source operational data across 54 African countries to power analytics and leadership decision-making.
Data Quality & Governance
Built data validation and quality frameworks ensuring consistency across 36+ country deployments. Designed monitoring and alerting infrastructure (Grafana, Loki, CloudWatch) and managed RBAC and secure database access.
Full-Stack Product – Tibalink & Maternal Health
Developed real-time communication for Tibalink (500+ healthcare workers) and delivered a maternal health PWA with offline access for Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Data Engineer
Bruegel
Designed and operated end-to-end data infrastructure for a European clean energy investment platform, enabling stakeholders to analyze investment trends, capital flows, and market impact at scale.
Data Infrastructure Lead
Built end-to-end ELT pipelines using Python and SQL, designed data models for analytical workloads, implemented data validation frameworks, and built self-service dashboards for non-technical stakeholders.
Data Modeler
Flagstar Bank
Led designing and structuring of data warehouse to consolidate data from multiple source systems into a unified data mart for reporting and business analysis.
