I am a Lead Software Engineer - Android at Carbon and a Technical Content Reviewer at BPB, with six years of experience in developing mobile applications at scale. I have a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and several online certifications and nano-degrees in Computer Software Engineering, Computer Science, and Natural Language Processing from Udacity, edX, and Duke University.

I have spearheaded and contributed to several projects that increased user retention, accessibility, productivity, and quality across various domains and platforms. Some of my notable achievements include:

Undertaking the Hydrogen Design System Project at Carbon, in collaboration with UI/UX, and completing the initial spec in record time, leading to reduced redundancy and a 40% increase in productivity across the team.

Launching the Feature Highlight Capability module in the League - Better Benefit and PC - Optimum apps, which led to a 20% increase in adoption rates of the two apps.

Reviewing and testing over 2 technical content and 5 code snippets per week at BPB, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and clarity by using an evidence-based approach and providing detailed and self-explanatory feedback.

I am passionate about following and experimenting with the latest trends and technologies in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence and applying them to create efficient and innovative software products. I am proficient in Java, Kotlin, Swift, JavaScript, and Python, and have experience with Model-View-Presenter (MVP), Kotlin Coroutines, XML, Jetpack Compose, and Design System. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives, and I am always open to learning new skills and exploring new challenges.
