My name is Kolawole Abobade, I work for a Y-Combinator-backed fintech startup Flutterwave Inc out of San Francisco. I currently work as a Software Engineer designing and implementing web services and products used by telecommunications, financials, small and medium scale enterprises across several countries in Africa. 

Prior to this, I led a team that worked on process automation for an Oil and Gas company automating several of its processes from remote Offshore-fields to its onshore offices. I implemented solutions that effectively utilize the little or no internet access available in some of these remote locations.

I was until recently a consultant for First Bank Nigeria (The oldest bank in Nigeria), leading the team that developed several non-banking customer-facing applications. I am also part of the team that helped convert the legacy account creation service from SOAP to REST.

I also work with several CMS developing plugins for WordPress and Magento 1.x. I even developed a bridge plugin to enable both to work seamlessly together. I constantly contribute to the open-source community, my repo can be found at https://github.com/omoabobade. I also blog about everything tech at https://medium.com/@kolawole.abobade.
