Frontend Engineer (Performance & Web3)

I build high-performance, real-time web applications and blockchain-integrated systems.

I'm Oluwaseun Ajao, a Lagos-based engineer with 3+ years of experience building production-grade applications with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Web3 tooling. I focus on performance, real-time systems, and reliable wallet and blockchain flows.

About

I'm a frontend engineer focused on building performant, scalable web applications and blockchain-integrated systems.

Over the past 3+ years, I've worked on production-grade applications with a strong emphasis on performance optimization, real-time systems, secure transaction flows, and Web3 user experience.

How I work

I specialize in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and I build systems that need to stay fast, understandable, and stable in production. My work spans user-facing frontend systems, real-time product flows, and end-to-end Web3 applications with wallet authentication, on-chain interactions, and backend integrations.

I focus on solving practical engineering problems, from optimizing frontend performance to handling complex blockchain interactions reliably under real-world conditions.

Where my work sits

  • Performance engineering: faster load times and better UX
  • Real-time systems: WebSockets, live dashboards, and synced state
  • Web3 infrastructure: smart contracts, RPC/indexers, and wallet flows

What I optimize for

I care about maintainable architecture, clear product flows, safe transaction handling, and interfaces that remain stable even when the underlying systems are complex.

Skills
