About
Abraham Alizor
Cracked senior software engineer
I'm a senior software engineer in Lagos with six years of shipping mobile and web products for banks, fintechs and startups. Most of that time has gone into the apps people use to move money, from leading the mobile team behind a major bank's app to building lending products at a fast-growing fintech.
My work runs the whole width of a product: React Native and Flutter on the phone, React and Next.js on the web, Go and Node.js behind them. The parts I care about most are the ones users never see. Security built to OWASP standards, pipelines that ship several times a week without drama, and test suites that catch regressions before a customer ever can.
