Ebenezer EkunkeBackend Engineer
I design and ship backend systems that scale; APIs, databases, DevOps pipelines, and AI integrations that power real products.
About Me
Building scalable, production-ready systems.
I am a Backend-Focused Full-Stack Engineer specialised in building high-performance APIs, web applications, and AI-integrated systems. My work emphasizes scalable architecture, security, and building systems designed for real-world load and reliability.
I design and ship end-to-end products, from complex backend systems to full-stack applications with a focus on clean architecture, maintainability, and long-term performance. Based in Nigeria and available for remote work worldwide.
Backend APIs
Nest.js · Express · FastAPI · GO
Databases
PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Redis
DevOps & Cloud
Docker · CI/CD · Kubernetes
AI Integration
TensorFlow · LLMs · MLOps
Infrastructure
Infrastructure that runs
while you sleep.
High-Performance APIs
Sub-50ms p99 latency with connection pooling, query optimisation, and horizontal scaling.
Event-Driven Architecture
Kafka / Redis queues decouple services, absorb traffic spikes, and guarantee at-least-once delivery.
Rock-Solid Data Layer
PostgreSQL with read replicas, Redis caching (94%+ hit rate), and zero-downtime migrations.
Containerised & Observable
Docker + Kubernetes, structured JSON logging, distributed tracing, and automated CI/CD pipelines.

Methodology
How I Work
A predictable process that produces reliable software, no surprises, no ghost deliveries.
Understand
I start by deeply understanding the problem; the business domain, technical constraints, and the real outcome you need. No building before clarity.
Design
Architecture, data models, and API contracts designed upfront. I write the shape of the system before a single line of implementation code.
Build
Clean, typed code with real error handling, logging, and tests. I ship incrementally with working demos, not a big-bang delivery at the end.
Ship
Production deployment with monitoring, documentation, and a clean handoff. You own everything, code, infra, and the confidence to maintain it.
Portfolio
Selected Work
Projects across backend, full-stack, and AI.
Each one shipped, live, and built to last.
