I’m Tope Taiwo, a fullstack software engineer with 4+ years of experience designing, delivering, and scaling production-grade web, mobile, and cloud-native applications. I work across product architecture, APIs, user experiences, data, and cloud infrastructure.

I’ve architected scalable APIs, distributed systems, event-driven microservices, multi-tenant platforms, and secure authentication systems. Across education, logistics, e-commerce, and discovery products, I translate business requirements into practical software and work with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to deliver it end to end.

How I work

• Lead technical decisions and product architecture with delivery goals in mind.
• Use modular design, domain-driven design, and event-driven architecture where they fit.
• Build secure systems with authentication, RBAC, ABAC, validation, and automated tests.
• Collaborate across engineering and product teams, keeping maintainability and reliability part of delivery.

Technologies

• Languages: JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Python
• Currently learning: Go/Golang
• Backend: NestJS, Express, FastAPI, RESTful APIs, WebSockets
• Data: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
• Frontend: React, React Native, Expo, Next.js, Redux, Zustand, Tailwind CSS, Nativewind
• Cloud and DevOps: Azure, AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions
• Architecture and quality: Microservices, modular monoliths, clean architecture, event-driven architecture, domain-driven design, RBAC, ABAC, Jest, unit, integration and E2E testing, TDD

Beyond the résumé

I’ve mentored early-career engineers and contributed to developer and security communities. I write about backend engineering, system architecture, TypeScript, and software engineering on my blog, Dev.to, and Medium. Explore selected projects, my résumé, or contact me.
