Hey, I'm Chuckz Okoye

FullStack Software Engineer from Nigeria

As a professional software developer, I create amazing scalable web applications app to make the internet a better place. I am an advocate for a decentralized internet, with major interest in the FinTech and DeFi space. Enthusiast with experience in production level technologies.

I am 27 years old and have been a professional web developer for about 5 years now. The technologies I work with are JavaScript, Python and Solidity with a focus on Django, React.js, Next.js, Node and Express. I use code not only to do my day-to-day job, but also to contribute to open-source projects.

When I am not writing code I love to spend time with my family and friends in Lagos. I hang around a couple of DAOs on Discord and actively contribute to the MoonShot Collective work-stream of GitcoinDAO and I love to read fiction and non-fiction books, watch sci-fi movies and play games on my playstation console.
