Bright Akinkuotu

Senior Software Engineer • Distributed Systems Architect • Mobile Infrastructure Specialist

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience architecting and scaling high performance applications across the fintech and health tech sectors. My expertise centers on building highly reliable backend microservices, designing secure transaction layers, and delivering fluid cross platform mobile applications.

I focus on driving product scalability, eliminating system latency, and collaborating asynchronously within global engineering environments.

🌟 Core Competencies

  • Backend & Systems: NestJS, Spring Framework, Node.js, Python, Django, DRF, Java, C, Solidity
  • Mobile & Frontend: React Native, Expo, Flutter, React, Next.js, WebRTC, Socket.IO
  • Data & Cloud Infrastructure: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Apache Kafka, Docker, GitHub Actions, AWS

🚀 Recent Engineering Wins

  • Monolith to Microservices: Spearheaded the decomposition of a large scale PHP legacy monolith into decoupled, independent NestJS microservices to enable targeted infrastructure scaling.
  • Fintech Scale: Directed technical architecture that successfully processed over 100k financial transactions and generated 700 million plus in business revenue.
  • Real Time Systems: Deployed custom WebRTC signaling frameworks and Socket.IO systems to facilitate secure, low latency video consultations and live emergency telemetry.
  • Performance Optimization: Redesigned data retrieval payloads and database transaction handling to achieve a 25% boost in user retention through lower app latency.

⚡ Remote Native Execution

  • Infrastructure Redundancy: I operate out of a dedicated home office equipped with 24 7 power backup using a solar and inverter system alongside redundant high speed internet connections.
  • Async Professional: Highly comfortable working across global timezones, primarily EMEA, and aligning distributed teams using tools like Slack, Jira, and CI CD automation.
  • Executive Alignment: Deeply experienced in navigating technical ambiguity and defining product roadmaps while reporting directly to Founders and CEOs.
