Full Stack Product Engineer

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.

"Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer.

Put your principles into practice – now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You aren't a child anymore. The sooner you set yourself to your spiritual program, the happier you will be. The longer you wait, the more you'll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better.

From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do – now."
