Joy Is When It Works.
Akinsola Faruq is a software engineer based in Abuja, Nigeria. He builds digital products that feel easy to use and don't fall apart once real users get their hands on them. Getting a specification document and feeling lost, then months later obsessing over how to make it better — that's the work, and he has been doing it for over 5 years across FinTech, GovTech, B2B and B2C.
Over the years he has worked with startups and agencies, building and optimising products and turning team ideas into platforms that actually ship. The part he likes most is getting something from a rough idea to a working product, and then making it more usable from there.
