Software Engineer • Technical Writer • Community Leader

Hello, I'm Ugochukwu!

Fullstack developer building scalable web products, front to back.

I've spent 4+ years shipping software across the entire stack — crafting clean interfaces with React and Next.js, and building reliable APIs with Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL. I also write technical content and help build engineering communities.

About

I'm Ugochukwu — a fullstack software engineer based in Nigeria with 4+ years of experience building web products end to end. I enjoy working across the whole stack: clean, accessible UIs on the frontend and well-structured, performant services on the backend.

My frontend work is centered on React and Next.js. On the backend I reach for Node.js (Express and NestJS), PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. I've shipped fintech platforms, developer tools, content platforms, and community products.

Beyond engineering, I write technical content and help build developer communities. I believe good software is built by people who communicate clearly — in code and in writing.
