Developer Profile
Kolawole Jimoh
Software Engineer / Full-stack Developer
I build scalable web and mobile experiences—using AI-assisted development to ship production software at the speed modern products demand.
About
I am a full-stack software engineer with experience shipping products across web and mobile. I work end to end—from designing APIs and data models to building polished client experiences—and I care about code that stays maintainable as products grow.
My stack includes React, React Native (Expo), Laravel, TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS. I pair that with active, daily use of AI-assisted development—Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot—to move quickly on implementation while I own architecture, integrations, and product decisions.
I designed, built, and maintain Histoday as a production application—a history discovery and learning platform on iOS and Android. AI-assisted workflows helped me ship and iterate faster across the mobile app, API, admin dashboard, subscriptions, and content tooling. Histoday is proof of how I deliver v1 products on tight timelines: practical, user-focused, and built to last.
Featured Project
How I Work
-
AI-assisted development
Daily user of Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot—not as a shortcut, but as how I ship faster without sacrificing quality. I used AI-assisted workflows throughout Histoday for scaffolding, refactors, debugging, and documentation while keeping architecture and product decisions in my hands.
-
API integrations & external data
Proven experience wiring third-party services and data sources into production apps—payment platforms (Apple & Google subscriptions), push notifications, webhooks, and content pipelines that feed Histoday’s event catalogue.
-
MVPs & v1 on tight timelines
Track record of taking products from idea to App Store and Play Store releases on lean budgets. Histoday is a full v1: mobile apps, Laravel API, admin tooling, quizzes, subscriptions, and ongoing iteration.
-
Stack choices (strong opinions, loosely held)
I recommend stacks based on product constraints—not hype. For consumer mobile + API products like Histoday, React Native + Laravel + MySQL on AWS has been the right balance of speed, hiring familiarity, and long-term maintainability—and I’ll advocate for a different approach when the problem calls for it.
-
Database design & data modelling
Comfortable owning schema design, migrations, and relationships for multi-entity domains (events, categories, users, devices, subscriptions, quiz data). I model for real query patterns and growth, not diagrams that only look good on paper.
-
Remote, async, and clear communication
Fully comfortable working remote with async updates and focused weekly check-ins. I explain technical trade-offs in plain English so stakeholders can decide with confidence, not jargon.
-
Growth & platform context
Familiar with app-store distribution, subscription economics, and engagement loops relevant to creator- and consumer-facing products—useful when building tools that depend on retention, notifications, and third-party platform APIs.
