Summary
Nkere-awaji Inwan is a seasoned backend engineer with 9 years of experience and over 7 years focused on designing scalable services using Node.js, Go, PHP/Laravel, AWS, and GCP. He has shipped production payment and BNPL systems that improved recovery and adoption—building bulk notification services, name-matching KYC, USSD integration, and direct-debit flows that tangibly reduced defaults. At Mercurie he owned core APIs and microservices, and drove CI/CD improvements on GCP to speed deployments; earlier roles saw him enable faster developer onboarding with Docker and ship customer-facing products like fly.africa. Now based in Leeds and pursuing advanced studies in computer science, he blends practical startup delivery with academic depth. Known among peers for a calm, steady approach ("most times I'm more 🙂"), he pairs customer-success engineering with hands-on backend ownership. He’s particularly adept at turning complex payment and transaction requirements into resilient, observable systems.
