Hi, I'm Abisoye
Building scalable systems, products, and digital experiences. Creator of Hovue, Keelow, author on freeCodeCamp, and founder of Liverpool React Group.
About
I'm a software engineer with a frontend focus and over 5 years of experience building scalable distributed systems and high-performance applications.
Currently at Skyscanner in Barcelona, working on sponsored product experiences across travel verticals. Previously built products serving 10M+ users and led engineering squads at early-stage startups.
I hold an MSc in Computer Science from Liverpool John Moores University, specializing in Virtual & Augmented Reality (which is still very much where I think interfaces are headed).
Outside of work, I write for freeCodeCamp, build side projects exploring AI/ML and distributed systems, and shoot street, lifestyle & travel photography around Barcelona and wherever I travel.
