Software Engineer, Lagos

Mustapha Fathiu

I build software that feels inevitable.

Based in Lagos — open to remote Currently building Syntap

Software engineer focused on interfaces people trust on first use, and the systems quietly holding them up.

I move between frontend and backend as the problem requires — most recently spending more time in React, and more time thinking about what makes an interface feel obvious.

I care about the space between an idea and the experience of using it.

Most of what I've shipped has lived on the backend — routing, auth, data. I'm moving that instinct for how systems hold together into the frontend, where the same discipline shows up as interfaces that don't make people think twice.
