Hi, I'm Emmanuel Chukwu
I build fast, production-ready web apps that ship to real users — with Next.js, TypeScript, and a backend that can handle it.
About
I started writing code in 2021 with a 3-month bootcamp — and I haven't stopped since. What began as structured learning quickly became self-directed obsession: reading documentation, building real projects, breaking things, and fixing them at 2 AM.
I'm a full-stack developer with hands-on experience shipping web applications that handle real users and real money. I built a healthcare platform for a non-profit serving communities across Nigeria — complete with authentication, Paystack donation flows, an admin dashboard, and full SEO optimisation. I'm also the solo developer behind Zewerk, an ambitious blue-collar worker marketplace for the Nigerian market, built on a production-grade backend with PostgreSQL, Prisma, Redis, Socket.io, and an escrow payment system.
I started with JavaScript, PHP and SQL, moved through the MERN stack, and now work primarily with Next.js, TypeScript, Express, PostgreSQL, and Prisma — tools I chose deliberately because they're what production teams actually use.
Alongside my development work, I'm pursuing a BSc in Computer Science at IU International University of Applied Sciences (Germany), which has deepened my foundations in algorithms, data structures, and software engineering principles.
I don't have a big company name on my CV yet — but I have shipped code, solved hard problems, and built things from scratch that actually work. I'm looking for a remote role — or an onsite position with visa sponsorship — where I can contribute from day one, grow fast, and be part of a team that takes their craft seriously.

Let's Work Together
I'm currently open to remote junior and mid-level software engineering roles — full-time, contract, or internship. If you're building something interesting and need a developer who takes ownership, writes clean code, and shows up consistently — let's talk.
