John Oba

I'm a software engineer and tech leader driven by principle and processes, with my focus every day being to create meaningful impact and lasting value on both the projects I build and the people I work alongside.

Currently Engineering at Alveum, I focus on building AI-powered platforms, intelligent recommendation systems, and seamless real-time experiences. I thrive at the intersection of people and systems, strategy and execution.

I also co-founded Startuplist Africa, scaling it to Africa's No. 1 Startup Intelligence System with 300K+ users. I enjoy blending backend and frontend artistry, from robust data architectures to interactive UI design.

Through my blog, Afrodev, I share insights on software development, developer experience, and tech trends to inspire and empower fellow developers. You'll most find me in the gym, and a lover of table tennis.
