Senior Software Engineer

Building reliable systems for the work that matters.

I'm Shuaibu, a senior engineer with eight years shipping production software across regulated and high-volume domains. Currently at PwC Nigeria, helping enterprises meet the country's e-invoicing mandate.

About

I work where compliance, scale, and developer ergonomics intersect RegTech, FinTech, HealthTech, and Retail SaaS. The throughline is the same: take a hard, high-stakes problem and ship something dependable, observable, and quiet.

Past lives include architecting multi-tenant retail systems at Timart for 60,000+ merchants and 100k+ daily transactions, and leading the EHR frontend at Iturah Health. I care about clean domain models, pragmatic DevOps, and the parts of the codebase nobody wants to inherit.

Lately I'm drawn toward energy and other infrastructure-grade domains (climate, logistics, govtech): the kind of work where reliability, compliance, and long time horizons compound.

PwC InvoiceTracker

Problem Nigerian enterprises had limited time to comply with FIRS's new e-invoicing mandate, but their ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics) had no native path to the regulator.

Solution An enterprise platform that validates invoices in real time, issues IRNs with QR codes, brokers ERP↔FIRS traffic, and produces audit-ready reporting, with RBAC, signed audit trails, and SLA-grade observability.
