work

Currently building fundtrail, a pension remittence infrastructure for African Employers. I used to ship code at Interswitch where I built out an Observability platform ontop of Kubernetes and maintained our Payment API Gateway which powers hundreds of billions of API requests every single day across our entire customer base. I contributed to the development of one of the best opensource Container Network Interface on planet earth. Currently, at MTN, as Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), My role focuses on maintaining and enhancing the resilience of large-scale systems, optimizing service uptime, and driving best practices for performance and reliability.

I do have a bit of projects in the open. Most notably, I am a core maintainer of mtn-apm-agent.

Technologies

These days my entire life revolves around Go. I also written a fair bit of PHP and Python in the past.

I might have written an awful ton of Javascript in a previous life. Okay to be fair, I still write a lot of Javascript - mostly Typescript.

I use Docker to run everything in between local development and production. If it is worth running in a Kubernetes cluster, I'd put it in one.
