Senior / staff product engineer · web, mobile & cloud

Osaretin (Ozzie) builds interfaces that scale.

I'm Platform Lead (Web) at Apadmi. Most of my delivery sits in telecom, healthcare, and SaaS—products with 1.3M+ active users. Day-to-day, that means frontend architecture, APIs and services, cloud delivery, testing, and observability, plus making awkward, regulated requirements shippable in the UI.

About

How I work

I'm a product engineer with a platform bias: I want the UI to feel good, but I also want the system behind it to behave under load—performance budgets, failure modes, sensible data boundaries, and developer experience that doesn't slow squads down. That spans customer-facing portals at scale and internal tooling that has to keep working when teams depend on it.

Stack-wise I spend most of my time in React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, and Tailwind, with Node.js and C# / .NET on the service side, and Azure for cloud delivery. For confidence I reach for Cypress, Playwright, Jest, and Vitest, plus CI/CD and observability so regressions show up before users do.

On the side I've shipped a few AI-backed products—Tenlord (landlord compliance) and TrueFitCV (CV optimisation). I mentor, I care about accessibility, and I'm happiest when the boring stuff (tests, releases, perf) is in good shape.

Cloud readiness

Azure-certified, with hands-on delivery

I work with platform folk on identity, data boundaries, observability, and hosting so web apps stay quick, stable, and straightforward to release.

Formal credential

Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate

Microsoft · 2024

Full detail is in the credentials section below.

Credentials →
  • Azure-native delivery

    I work with Azure compute, data, messaging, and identity patterns, which usually means fewer back-and-forths with platform and security when a spec lands.

  • Multi-cloud & edge-aware UI

    Production work across Azure, AWS, and GCP-backed estates, with attention to CDN, caching, and serverless patterns so routes and assets behave under load.

  • Pipelines & environments

    CI/CD with GitHub Actions, container-friendly builds, and sensible environment discipline—whether the API is .NET on Azure or Node somewhere else.

Selected work

Selected projects

Client delivery and a few things I've built myself—telecom, NHS work, proptech, commerce, and some LLM-backed side projects.

Background

Roles & education

Contract work first, then longer platform ownership. I tend to stay close to the web, to tests, and to how teams actually release.

  • Frontend Engineer (contract)

    Jan 2022Aug 2022

    Betwiza · Remote

    React apps with a proper component model; steadier state and tests; CI/CD and release discipline; defects down roughly 30%.

  • Software Engineer

    Aug 2019Dec 2021

    goHarness · UK

    Full-stack delivery; Stripe and webhooks; legacy flows dragged into a saner shape; Redux Toolkit and React Query; tests and CI/CD so releases weren’t guesswork.

Education

  • De Montfort University

    MSc · 2021 — 2022

    Thesis: ML for credit card fraud detection

  • University of Port Harcourt

    BSc · 2007 — 2011

Credentials

Certifications & study

A couple of formal bits—mostly because they help day-to-day delivery, not because I collect badges.

  • Professional Scrum Master™ I (PSM I)

    Scrum.org · 2023

    Scrum fundamentals covering roles, events, and artefacts.

    Why it matters

    Makes sprint planning and backlog conversations less woolly—useful when product and engineering need to stay aligned.

  • Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate

    Microsoft · 2024

    Building solutions on Azure across compute, data, messaging, identity, and DevOps workflows.

    Why it matters

    Helps when you're integrating with Azure, arguing sensibly about observability, or working through platform and security review.

  • MSc — machine learning & analytics focus

    De Montfort University · 2021 — 2022

    Graduate study including research on machine learning for credit card fraud detection.

    Why it matters

    Left me fussier about data quality, evaluation, and how product and ML teams actually talk to each other.
