My Manifesto
I'm Delight Amadi-Sheriff, a software engineer who turns ideas into products that actually work. I got into tech driven by curiosity, wanting to understand how systems work, why they sometimes don't, and how I could create mine too. That curiosity became a craft: building, breaking, fixing, and learning every step of the way.
I work full-stack with React, Node.js, Next.js, and MongoDB, focusing on reliable, maintainable products. Currently diving deep into NestJS and PostgreSQL, exploring how structured architecture and relational databases can elevate backend systems.
I believe the best code is the kind that quietly does its job well.
I love projects with depth, ones that make you learn, think about real users, and lasting impact. My philosophy is simple: Keep it clean. Make it work. Always ask why.
Building something cool? Let's talk.
Core Expertise
Let's create something exceptional together.
I'm currently seeking a full-time role with a forward-thinking team where I can take on significant ownership and contribute to building impactful, user-centric products. If you're building the future, I'd love to discuss how I can help.
