  • Contributed to a document-management platform for the Nigerian Immigration Service using WPF, ASP.NET WebForms, SQL Server, Active Directory, and reporting tools.
  • Built a Windows Phone application for electronic internally generated revenue collection using C#, XAML, secure REST APIs, and real-time reporting workflows.
  • Designed and optimized SQL Server schemas, stored procedures, triggers, and data-redundancy strategies for enterprise and government workloads.
Recent Work

Selected recent enterprise modernization work

In more recent enterprise work, I’ve been involved in modernizing older scheduled and file-processing applications into .NET isolated Azure Functions. The work has included timer, blob, HTTP, and messaging triggers; Azure Service Bus; Blob Storage; CI/CD pipelines; Application Insights; structured monitoring; deployment troubleshooting; unit testing; and Blazor-based operational visibility.

Where client confidentiality applies, I describe the engineering problem and solution without publishing internal names, source code, credentials, or proprietary business details.
