About

Little About Myself

Akanni-Ola Akeem Olamide · Code Alchemist


I'm a Software Engineer with 4+ years building native Android, React Native, and React.js products — from a self-published Android app with real users on the Play Store to enterprise React Native features at a fintech. I'm currently pursuing an MSc in Software Engineering at Lead City University, Ibadan, researching computational development methodologies, which feeds directly back into how I build: profiling for performance, questioning architecture trade-offs, and writing code I'd be comfortable defending in a paper.
