About

I'm Kabiru Akeem, a software developer focused on designing and delivering scalable systems with long-term impact. I approach system design through deliberate trade-offs, balancing performance, usability, and maintainability to build solutions that stand the test of time.
Writing code is only one part of the role, the greater responsibility is shaping systems that evolve gracefully, establishing shared technical standards, and enabling teams to move effectively. I believe strong engineering is rooted in collaboration, and I work closely with product and backend teams to ensure the frontend is a first-class citizen within a cohesive, well-designed system.
