I Build ThingsThat Actually Work.
I'm Charles Obiora. Web apps, mobile apps, and the servers behind them. Most of what I've shipped is somewhere on this page have a look around.
About Me
I build software products end to end, from the first rough sketch to whatever's keeping them online at 3am.
in more detail.....
Hi, I'm Charles Obiora
I build web and mobile apps, the part people click on, and the part quietly holding it up. Clean, scalable, all the usual adjectives. Mostly I just don't like fixing the same bug twice.
I live in TypeScript and JavaScript: React, Next.js and React Native up front, NestJS, Express, Postgres and Redis behind. Performance, SEO, Docker and deploys are part of the job too.
Away from the keyboard: gaming, movies, the gym, and reading docs for tools I have no immediate use for.
