The story

Open to remote contract / full-time

The story

I’m Francis Kossyrisochukwu Uzoigwe, a full-stack engineer based in Lagos. I build and ship production web products with Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, and PostgreSQL — including payments, admin systems, and deployment. Selected work includes a UK multi-vendor marketplace with Stripe, an EdTech platform shipped in 8 weeks, and Hausevo admin tooling that lets operations run without depending on developers. Open to remote contract or full-time roles. Can start immediately.

What I take on

Frontend, backend, UX, mobile, and DevOps — the work is the product, not a single layer of it.

  • 01

    Frontend

    Interfaces, type, and motion — pages that read clearly and feel considered.

  • 02

    Backend

    APIs, data, and the systems that keep a product honest once real traffic arrives.

  • 03

    UX

    The path through the product: what people need to do, and how little friction that takes.

  • 04

    DevOps

    Ship it, watch it, keep it up — deploys, environments, and the boring reliability work.

  • 05

    Mobile

    Native feel, for your phones

Tools I ship with

Typed JavaScript for apps that stay readable as they grow.

How I work

  1. 01

    Understand the problem

    What has to change, who it is for, and what done looks like.

  2. 02

    Shape the product

    Interface, data, and the path through the build — before the pile of tickets.

  3. 03

    Ship and stay close

    Launch, watch how people use it, and tighten what matters.
