Hello, I'm Faseesin Ayokunumi
I'm a frontend-leaning Software Engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I build fast, performant applications across web and mobile using modern tools like React, Next.js, and React Native. But before I was pushing pixels and deploying code, my life looked a lot different!
Background & Expertise
Before I was pushing pixels and deploying code, I was a full-time piano player! That musical discipline seamlessly carried over into my engineering career, which started in WordPress and SEO. However, hitting the limitations of plugins pushed me into custom development in 2021, and I haven't looked back since.
Today, I am a frontend-leaning engineer with a strong grasp of backend systems. Over the past 5+ years, I've built high-performance custom applications across diverse industries including EdTech, eCommerce, Web3 (smart contract interactions and wallet connections), Non-profits, and corporate business platforms.
My Core Stack & Skills:
- Frontend & Mobile: React, Next.js, React Native
- Backend & APIs: Hono, Express.js, API Design, ORMs, SQL/NoSQL Databases
- CMS & eCommerce: Headless CMS, Shopify (Liquid), WordPress custom themes
My Workflow & Approach
I am a huge advocate for AI-assisted coding. I view AI not as a replacement, but as an incredibly powerful pair-programmer that helps me ship robust code faster, resolve complex logic efficiently, and focus on the higher-level architecture. No drama, just solutions.
When I'm not writing code or building custom portals, I'm usually spending time relaxing indoors, surfing the internet, catching up on my favorite YouTube shows, or playing the piano. I'm very much a homebody, but I do love to go out and "touch grass" once in a while!
I'm currently open to freelance projects and full-time opportunities (remote or hybrid). Whether you need someone for a quick performance audit, a custom web app, to join your core engineering team, or you're a non-technical founder who used AI to build an MVP and now needs a pro to fix the architecture and patch security holes—let's talk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about timelines, project updates, and post-launch support.
What is your typical process for a new project?[+]
I start by thoroughly understanding your requirements, brand goals, and target audience. From there, I outline a clear project roadmap, design the database and API architecture, and dive into development, keeping you closely updated at every major milestone.
Do you work with existing codebases, or only start from scratch?[+]
I do both! I am completely comfortable jumping into an existing codebase to refactor, optimize performance, or add new features—provided it aligns with the modern tech stacks I specialize in, like React, Next.js, React Native, or Headless WordPress/Shopify.
What happens if I need changes after the project is launched?[+]
All my projects include a short warranty period to handle any minor tweaks and bug fixes post-launch free of charge. For continuous feature development and maintenance, I offer flexible hourly support or a monthly retainer model depending on your needs.
How do you handle project communication and updates?[+]
Transparency is crucial to my workflow. I provide regular progress updates accompanied by staging links or screenshots. We can manage feedback through platforms like Slack, Trello, or email, and I'm always available to jump on a quick call when things need immediate clarification.
