Daniel Olagunju, Software Engineer

About

As a skilled software engineer with over five years of experience in designing and developing enterprise web and mobile applications, I bring a proven track record of delivering projects on time and within budget. My expertise lies in leading teams to develop innovative solutions that drive business success. One notable achievement was leading a team to integrate the Stellar blockchain into Quidroo, securing a Stellar Community Fund grant of $35,000 for cross-border transaction compliance. I am adept at leveraging third-party technologies to streamline development processes and improve product quality. For instance, I reduced coding time by 50% by integrating Machine Learning algorithms into our workflow. This not only saved time but also improved the accuracy and reliability of our products. My passion for coding and entrepreneurship has driven me to enhance the visibility and user engagement of mobile apps and landing pages. Through successful deployments on both the App Store and Google Play store, I have demonstrated my ability to lead products from concept to market. Beyond my technical skills, I am an enthusiastic and creative team player who thrives in collaborative environments. I believe in fostering open communication and mutual support to drive business success. When not coding, I enjoy listening to music and spending quality time with my loved ones
