Victor Ajibade
Software Engineer · Abuja, Nigeria
I build with care and pay close attention to the little details. For three years I have worked across a fintech web app, its admin app and its API. In my own time I fix everyday problems with small tools and automations.
Experience
Frontend Engineer, Kudy FinancialsJun 2023 – now
- Split one codebase so it builds a separate site for Nigeria (2024) and the US (2025) next to the global site, on AWS S3, CloudFront, ACM and Cloudflare. Built sign-in that carries users between the sites, and wrote the runbook for adding a country.
- Built a shared UI library for the web app and the internal admin app, with typed builds and automatic releases, from v1 in 2024 to v3.6.
- Moved the web app from JavaScript to TypeScript (0% to 100% of files), from Create React App to Vite, and to Tailwind v4 and React 19 while features kept shipping. Moved the public pages to Astro so search engines can read them.
- Work across the web app, admin app and Node.js API: an audit trail for transaction changes, server-side user preferences, payout and tax fixes, and a Telegram exchange-rate bot.
- Run releases, review frontend changes, and trace production issues with Sentry and Datadog.
Contract Engineer, Chasebig LimitedApr – Jun 2026
- Turn Up, a live nightlife booking app: took over development and fixed and built on Stripe Connect payouts to venues, phone sign-in, and booking and check-in rules, across Flutter, Next.js dashboards and Firebase.
- Eko International Market: built the fulfilment and operations tools: shipment tracking, disputes, admin analytics and exports, stock held during payment, and buyer and vendor messaging.
