Hi, I'm Sheriff.

I'm a senior backend engineer based in Nigeria. I work mostly with TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and AWS, building APIs and systems that need to handle a lot of data without falling over.

Right now, I'm building MemePerfect, a Solana market intelligence product. It helps traders follow fast-moving onchain activity and understand why an alert fired before they act on it.

I'm looking for a senior backend or software engineering role with a global remote team, and I'm open to relocating. If your team has a difficult backend problem, I'd like to hear about it.

Selected work

MemePerfect

Founded and built a live market intelligence platform. I changed the strategy testing pipeline so historical analysis could run without holding up time-sensitive alerts.

Testlio

Built AI-assisted support tools that cut about four hours from each support engineer's daily workload after launch.

Firmatek & Maven Machines via Andela

Worked on backend services for geospatial and fleet products. The job was equal parts shipping features and making sure the data arrived intact.

Writing

I'm writing One Request, End to End, a series that follows a request through a production backend and examines the decisions, failures, and tradeoffs hidden behind an ordinary API call. I'll add each essay here when it's published.
