Backend developer · BrightDaDEV · Lafia, Nasarawa, Nigeria · WAT (UTC+1)
Self-taught since 2024, alongside studies at FULAFIA and founder work (Startup Unknown, Genesis AI). I work full-stack but live on the backend: the auth service, the data model, the API contract - the parts that look fine in a demo and quietly fail in production.
The pattern repeats: systems left half-built or badly modeled: RBAC middleware that was placeholder text, controllers reading the wrong user's variables, schemas that were never right the first time. I'd rather name the specific failure and fix it than sell "amazing solutions." I'm stronger at architecture and problem-solving than at syntax-grinding, and I use AI tooling deliberately - as part of the workflow, not as a crutch.
