Engineering with a founder's accountability
A summary of how I work, where I come from, and what I optimize for when building software.
I'm a software engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, working across backend systems, full-stack product development, and AI-powered features. For the past two and a half years I've been the founder and sole engineer behind Kamflo, a customer experience SaaS platform which means I've had to be equally comfortable in a PostgreSQL migration, a ReactJs & Remix component tree, and a production incident at 2am.
Before founding Kamflo, I worked across backend and full-stack roles at Codefixbug, Afrimama Farms, and Alehra, and spent time at MTN Nigeria gaining hands-on exposure to large-scale network infrastructure an experience that sharpened how I think about uptime, monitoring, and reliability in the systems I build today.
My engineering philosophy is straightforward: understand the problem before reaching for a framework, prefer explicit and boring solutions over clever ones, and treat maintainability as a feature not an afterthought. I studied Physics Electronics at FUTA alongside building Kamflo, and that discipline of reasoning from first principles shows up in how I design systems: start from constraints, not from tooling preferences.
Founder, not just contributor
Built Kamflo from an empty repository to a live, multi-tenant SaaS product backend, frontend, infra, and the decisions in between.
Physics-trained problem solver
A B.Tech in Physics Electronics shapes how I approach systems: model the problem precisely, then build the simplest thing that satisfies it.
Full-stack by necessity
Comfortable owning a feature end-to-end schema, API, and the UI a user actually touches without losing sight of how the pieces fit together.

What people say about working with me
“Bukunmi owned the entire backend rebuild without hand-holding — schema design, API contracts, deployment. The kind of engineer you stop double-checking after the first project.”
Saheed Adegbite
Engineering Lead · Codefixbug
“What stood out was how he thought about the product, not just the code. He'd flag UX issues in the backend architecture before anyone else noticed them.”
Enoch Adebayo
Product Manager · Cratadel
“We brought him in for a contract backend role and he was shipping production code by day two. Clear communicator, reliable estimates, no surprises.”
Mr Emmanuel
Founder · CodefixBug
