My Journey

About Me

Building Robust Systems

Hi, I'm Ammy Ogunbiyi, a backend developer in Lagos. I like taking rough sketches of ideas and turning them into APIs and data pipelines that stay calm when traffic spikes.

I grew up curious about how systems hold together, so I gravitated to TypeScript and Node.js for building services with clear logs, strong tests, and room to grow. I care about observability, sensible data models, and keeping things fast without getting fragile.

Away from the keyboard, you'll find me tinkering with new tools, swapping ideas with other devs, or writing notes about what I learn so others can skip the potholes.
