GET /engineers/gbemiga · 200 OK

Backend Engineer who ships the parts nobody sees —until they don't work.

I build production-grade APIs and distributed systems on Node.js, Express, and MongoDB — reliable job queues, caching layers, and multi-tenant architectures built to scale.

GET /about · 200 OK

Systems thinking, applied to real institutions.

I'm a backend developer based in Nigeria, focused on RESTful APIs and distributed systems, the kind of infrastructure that has to stay correct under load, not just work in a demo. My work spans EdTech, health-tech, and small-business platforms, usually as the sole engineer responsible for architecture end to end.

Before backend development, I spent a year as IT support and an EMR specialist at a hospital, overseeing a full patient records system rollout, which is where I got comfortable with the unglamorous parts of software: data migration, uptime, and systems that people actually depend on.

I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Babcock University, and I'm currently building Eduplex, a school administration platform, as part of my work at Techson Unicore.

Active — in development · Techson Unicore

A school administration platform digitizing workflows for Nigerian primary and secondary schools. As sole backend engineer, I designed student registration, role-based access control, and a teacher-to-parent communication system — including a Redis-backed job queue that automatically dispatches student results to parents by email, and a multi-tenant MongoDB architecture that keeps every school's data cleanly isolated as the platform scales.
