About Me
Software Engineer · Backend & Full-Stack · London, UK
I'm Ahmed Sulaimon, a Junior Software Engineer at Scrapays and a 1st Class Honours graduate in Software Engineering from Sheffield Hallam University.
I build production-ready APIs, full-stack applications, and developer tooling — from real-time freight trackers to AI-powered PR review systems. I care deeply about clean code, reliable systems, and software that solves real problems.
I'm currently seeking a full-time backend or full-stack engineering role. If you're hiring or want to collaborate, I'd love to hear from you.
