Hello, I'm Bolaji 👋
software engineer turned engineering manager
I'm a software engineer with a foundation in backend development and DevOps/cloud engineering, now leading and managing engineering teams. Over the past 7 years, I've had the chance to work across industries like logistics, fintech, edtech, blockchain, and real estate, leading global teams and building impactful products.
Currently, I lead a 25 member product team at Lightforth, where we drive results in engineering, product design, and testing.
Beyond Lightforth, I run WebuildX, a dev shop focused on solving three major challenges for businesses: building high-performing teams, scalable Products & cloud Infrastructure.
