About me.

I’m Moyomade Adegbite, a software engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I started on the frontend and grew outward from it. Today I build whole products, from the data model and payments to the screens people use.

That has meant moving insurance cards into Apple and Google Wallet at Laferla, building the ticket flow for DevFest Lagos’s 4,000+ attendees, building Social Shake end to end for an Australian client, and taking Gixel from an iOS-only app to the web. I’m now a frontend engineer at Straqa, working on logistics software for African businesses.

I try to understand the problem before writing code, because the stated requirement is rarely the real one. Social Shake was pitched as a marketplace; the real problem was trust, so the product holds a brand’s payment and only charges it when they approve the video.

From there it’s scope, then building it properly: usable, fast and maintainable from the start, and tested against what happens in production, not just the demo. Every project ends with a write-up of what I’d change, which is where most of what I’ve learned comes from.

I’ve shipped AI features in production: Gixel’s campaign generation runs on OpenAI, Gemini and Replicate. Now I’m learning the layer underneath, training and evaluating models myself, and writing about it as I go.

Freelance and contract work with founders and product teams: new products, features for products that already have users, and AI features that solve a real problem.

I’m also open to remote engineering roles, full-time or contract, on teams that take product quality seriously.
