Hi, I’m Simi; and I love building software.
My lifelong curiosity has fueled my passion for understanding how things work. As a young child, I couldn't resist exploring the inner workings of electronic appliances. This earned me a reputation as the prime suspect whenever household appliances mysteriously malfunctioned. In my defence, I wasn't always responsible.
This curiosity led me to study Applied Physics, where I learnt about principles governing our physical world. My academic journey took an exciting turn during an internship as a microwave transmission engineer. There, I found myself climbing telecommunication masts, quite literally taking my passion for learning to new heights. This hands-on experience provided invaluable insights into practical applications of the theories I had studied in school.
My passion for technology and community led me to becoming a member of the leadership team of Meta Developer Circles in Lagos. There, I dedicated myself to fostering a vibrant tech community by organizing events and workshops, and spearheading initiatives to support fellow developers.
As an experienced back-end developer, I've honed my skills through diverse experiences in both freelance and corporate environments; designing and implementing scalable and secure software solutions that enable organizations improve their operations and enhance their customers' experience.
I love learning and trying out new things; and I hope to share my learnings with you.
