Hey! I'm Joel 👋

I'm a Software Engineer building Spidra and NGN Market, while also writing technical content to help developers learn and grow.

What I do

I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for building tools that solve real-world problems. I'm currently building Spidra and NGN Market, where I architect systems, write code, and bring innovative products to life.

I also work as a Technical Editor at Kinsta, where my day-to-day involves writing technical articles, reviewing content from other authors, and ensuring everything meets high standards. I also contribute to brainstorming sessions, write marketing materials, changelogs, and more.

When I'm not coding or writing, I explore new technologies, mentor aspiring developers, and contribute to open-source projects. I'm a strong advocate for community building, having led Open Source Community Africa chapters in Ibadan and Okitipupa, both of which I started from scratch.

My goal is to continue building products that make a difference and serve as a gateway for Nigerian developers to get involved in open source and software engineering.
