About Me
Hey there! I'm Abdullahi, a Senior Software Engineer currently based in Edinburgh, Scotland, building blockchain-powered payment solutions at Lloyds Banking Group.
With 6+ years of experience across fintech, e-commerce, logistics, and enterprise software, I've worked with teams across Nigeria, Sweden, Poland, and the UK-shipping products that millions of users rely on daily.
I specialize in TypeScript, React, React Native, and cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, GCP, Azure). Currently diving deep into blockchain and smart contracts to power the next generation of digital payments.
What I Believe In
The principles that guide my work and shape how I approach engineering challenges.
Clean Code
I believe in writing code that is readable, maintainable, and well-documented. Code is read more often than it's written.
User-Centric Design
Every technical decision should ultimately serve the end user. Performance, accessibility, and experience matter.
Continuous Learning
Technology evolves rapidly. I stay curious, embrace new challenges, and never stop learning.
Collaboration
The best solutions come from diverse perspectives. I value open communication and knowledge sharing.
