I build interfaces people trust , and I'm going deeper into the systems behind them.
I'm Yusuf Adesina, a frontend-rooted software engineer and IT Support Officer based in Lagos, Nigeria, currently deepening my backend and systems skills , React and Next.js on the surface, Node.js and PostgreSQL underneath.
// about
Developer and IT professional who builds for the real world.
I've spent 2+ years building production-grade web and mobile applications while managing corporate IT infrastructure. I know what it means for software to actually work under real conditions , not just on a demo machine.
My stack spans React, Next.js 14, TypeScript, and React Native on the frontend. I'm now investing deliberately in the backend , Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma ORM , so I can own a feature from database to browser, not just the last mile of it.
I'm ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity and actively working toward SC-300. My IT background gives me perspective most frontend devs don't have: I understand how systems behave in production, and why reliability matters as much as aesthetics.
