Mission
Build resilient African-born products that feel as premium as Vercel, as fast as Linear, and as thoughtful as Stripe.
I’m Mayowa, a Lagos-based frontend engineer who thrives on elevating complex product requirements into cinematic, production-grade interfaces.
My work spans TGPC's learning platforms, Vehance’s commerce experiences, Nitx’s internal tools, and Spatial Data Science Network’s mapping dashboards.
I obsess over the nuances—microinteractions, accessible animation curves, smooth data flows—and I’m currently leveling up my backend game to become a fearless full-stack engineer.
