Senior🎓
Top SchoolJunaid Babatunde is a Chief Technology Officer and full-stack software engineer with eight years of experience building scalable, maintainable web and mobile applications from Lagos. He leads technology at Topship after senior engineering roles across African and US startups, bringing deep JavaScript expertise (Node, React, Angular) alongside Laravel, Django, and mobile stacks like Flutter and React Native. Junaid is comfortable spanning backend, frontend and deployment concerns—databases (MongoDB, MySQL), Firebase integrations, and CI/version control—so he ships end-to-end products rather than isolated components. He combines startup pragmatism with formal CS training from the University of Ilorin and practical accelerator exposure at Y Combinator, which helps him align engineering trade-offs to business outcomes. Notably, his cross-continental experience includes building vehicle-tech and fintech-adjacent platforms, giving him a practical edge in product-facing engineering.
