Zainab Wahab — Product Engineer

I'm a backend developer based in Lagos, building APIs, real-time systems, and AI-powered pipelines with Node.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL — and currently expanding into Go through the Learn2Earn fellowship. What makes my path a bit different: I spent 2+ years as a UI/UX designer before moving into backend engineering. That background means I think about systems from both sides — not just how they're built, but how they're used. It makes me a better collaborator across engineering and product, and it shows up in how I design APIs and structure workflows. Some things I've built recently: - A full-stack AI pipeline (Supabase Edge Function -> n8n -> Gemini 2.5 Flash) that monitors company mentions in cleantech news, with duplicate handling, quality scoring, and multi-level error handling. - A real-time multiplayer game platform using Socket.io with room-based architecture. - A hiring platform backend that uses AI to score and give feedback on resumes via OpenRouter - A developer bookmarking platform built for the Appwrite Hackathon. I'm currently deepening my knowledge in database engineering (ACID, concurrency, internals) and Go, building projects, not just reading about them. I'm looking for junior-to-mid backend roles (remote or Nigeria-based) where I can grow fast, ship real things, and work with people who care about the craft. Tech: Node.js · Express.js · NestJS · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Socket.io · Docker · Go
