Available — open to roles

DevDanny

I build the systems behind the systems.

Backend infrastructure, developer tools, and on-chain protocols — engineered to ship, not to demo.

About

Daniel Nwachukwu — software engineer, Lagos.

I design and build backend systems, developer tools, and deployment infrastructure, primarily in Go and TypeScript. First Class Honours in Computer Science from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. 60+ merged open-source PRs as an OnlyDust Fellow across Starknet, Sui, and Stellar codebases. Built my own CI/CD engine from scratch. Shipped a webhook delivery system with write-ahead persistence. Designed a USSD-to-blockchain protocol so Africans without smartphones can access on-chain finance.

Open to backend, full-stack, and infrastructure engineering roles. Remote-first, globally available.
