Ayomide Fayomi

Building enterprise platforms at Africa's largest telecom that serves 90 million+ users. Architecting systems where performance, security, and scale aren't tradeoffs — they're requirements.

I lead teams shipping production-grade platforms across customer acquisition, identity, and regulatory compliance — always with a bias for measurable outcomes and resilient architecture.

About

I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, with 4+ years building enterprise‑scale React and TypeScript applications. At MTN Nigeria, I lead a team of 5 engineers and co‑architect platforms that have processed over 40 million user registrations.

My work sits at the intersection of complex systems and real‑world impact: contactless biometric verification, regulatory compliance portals, and high‑traffic customer acquisition platforms. I care deeply about performance, accessibility, and building things that actually work for people at scale — not just in demos.

I'm a daily practitioner of AI‑assisted development, a mentor to junior engineers, and someone who's always asking "why did this work?" — or more usefully, "why didn't it?".

Open to global opportunities — remote or relocation.
