Chidi O.
✓ Vetted CrafterSenior Software Engineer – Deployment & Testing
I deploy safely and write tests that catch regressions — quality and reliability first.
About
I specialise in deployment and testing for fintech and healthtech in West Africa. I build reliable CI/CD pipelines, write comprehensive test suites, and deploy safely. Cursor helps me generate test cases and debug pipeline failures. I have shipped systems that handle variable connectivity and strict compliance requirements.
My focus is on quality: Jest and Playwright for test coverage, Docker and GitHub Actions for deployment, and zero-downtime releases. I work with TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS. I believe that good deployment practices and test coverage prevent production incidents and enable teams to ship confidently.
