About

I turn product ideas into software that people actually use.

Muaz Balogun, Software Engineer

Results-driven Software Engineer with 5+ years in technology, spanning full-stack web development, mobile apps with React Native, backend services in Java and Node.js, and the cloud infrastructure that runs them. I build scalable, well-tested products end to end — from UI and API design to data modelling and deployment on AWS with Terraform and CloudFormation. My work has a consistent through-line: cut manual effort, shorten delivery timelines, and translate product requirements into measurable outcomes. I am comfortable across the full lifecycle, from architecture and IaC to mobile app delivery, observability and security.
