Hi, my name is
Kolade Afeez.
I build scalable software solutions.
I'm a results-driven Software Developer with 5+ years of experience delivering scalable SaaS and enterprise solutions. Currently pursuing a Master's in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Stirling while developing innovative fintech solutions.
About Me
My journey into programming began with pure curiosity about how software systems work. That curiosity led me to specialize in .NET development and microservices architecture, where I've been able to make significant impacts on performance and scalability.
I started my career as a Software Developer at Chams PLC, working with .NET Core, JavaScript, and various database technologies. After being promoted to a full-time position, I moved to Sterling Bank through Uridium Technologies, where I specialized in migrating monolithic applications to microservices architecture, reducing downtime by 50%.
Seeking international experience, I worked remotely with KLAR Financial Institute in Iceland as a .NET Developer, where I built customer onboarding systems and integrated multiple Payment Service Providers. Currently, I'm developing a sophisticated AI-powered tender management system for Intend Business Development while pursuing my MSc in Artificial Intelligence.
Here are the key technologies I've been working with:
- C# & .NET Core
- ASP.NET Core
- JavaScript & TypeScript
- React & Next.js
- SQL Server & PostgreSQL
- MongoDB & Redis
- Microservices Architecture
- Azure & AWS
- RabbitMQ & Docker
- CI/CD Pipelines
