I will definitely be a strong addition to any team for any of the above mentioned roles. I will be very glad to contribute my experience towards the success of the team.
Tutorials/Courses
A selection of some of my tutorials/courses.
Software Engineering Foundations Course(Front-end Web Development).
This course is my first premium course. It's a course built to make (software engineering) beginners into world-class market-ready junior software engineers. The course's core focus is foundational front-end web development, but it's built with a mission to give course learners a solid foundation as software engineers(beyond just front-end web development).
The course release date is 10th December 2023, but it's currently open for pre-order.

Developer Profiles MERN Stack Tutorial Series.
This project, is a tutorial series that I created to teach the MERN stack in a progressive and holistic manner. It is a series that is meant to help full stack developers become solidified and vast.
The series is currently more than 15 hours of video content. Only the last video in the series remains to be published. The project curriculum consist of a single NodeJs/Express back-end, and three front-end built with different stacks to teach the progression of front-end development technologies from the vanilla phase(HTML and Vanilla Javascript), to ReactJs, and the to NextJs 13. All three front-end were styled with TailwindCSS. You can learn more about the series on my youtube channel . Don't forget to subscribe, and opt-in for notifications 😊.

Projects

Deeco.
Deeco is a blockchain e-commerce platform. It powers e-commerce experiences but with cryptocurrency based payments. It is a solo-project that I built as my hackathon submission for the Polygon Africa web3/blockchain bootcamp of 2022. Deeco was among the winning-projects in my category of the hackathon. To fully explore the live project, please use a PC.
The Developer Profiles Project.
The Developer Profile Project is a MERN stack project that I built to help tutor/mentor developers through my youtube channel . The Github repository contains all the different tutorial versions and stacks that I've built with the project to help teach and demonstrate different technologies on my youtube channel. The project repository contains two branches. One for builds with Javascript, and the other for builds made with Typescript.
With this single project, I've taught NodeJs/Express, ReactJs, React Context API, NextJs 13, HTML, TailwindCSS, VanillaJS and more, on youtube .

Journie.
Journie is a productivity app for note taking, scheduling and task management, and journaling. It is a fullstack app built with the MERN stack and so much more. It's a project I am excited about - especially considering the awesome features that I hope to roll into subsequent versions of the app.
The project is live currently with a good number of sign ups.

Tilo.
Tilo is a beautiful side-project I am working on. It's a crypto based project to aid cryptocurrency marketers and other cryto enthusiasts in watching and trading the market with ease, thanks to a user experience that is streamlined towards simplicity and efficiency. It provides a base for traders to watch the market(top 50 coins), keep an eye on trending coins, and more. For now, only most of the front-end aspect is ready. In the next iteration of the project, I hope to complete it into a full stack project with a coin/token swap included - hence powering it up with blockchain/web3 capabilities.
Chabod_x.
Chabod_x is a massive fullstack blog-folio web-app. It is an opensource project that I am building to give professionals the portfolio management tool that I never got until now. The project is a packed solution. It consist of a portfolio website, a custom blog, a blog manager, a newsletter manager, and other admin functionalities. Chabod_x is what powers this(my) portfolio website that you're currently on.
