About Me
Hi, my name is MacBobby Chibuzor.
I am a product-oriented software engineer, an acclaimed speaker, and a prolific technical writer. I specialize in building FinTech and blockchain software, as well as ensuring continuous deployment and delivery of quality software. I have given technical speeches, and held workshops in some of the biggest tech events and conferences in Africa. My writings have been published on 12 global platforms -- on some of the most viewed software and blockchain blogs in the world.
I also specialize in helping people discover their latent abilities by bringing them up to my level, thereby increasing the number of skilled software engineers in supply. I am looking for roles that allow me build useful software and I prioritize remote work at companies that align with my values of honesty, transparency, and adequate room for growth.
If you want someone that is dedicated to their craft, interested in doing what it takes to produce a successful product, and a genuine force multiplier, please look no further. I'm more than willing to hear you out.
