I build full-stack web applications, automation systems, and software solutions that solve real problems and save time. I'm a Chemical Engineering student (graduating 2026) and a self-taught software developer specializing in Python, JavaScript, React, and Next.js. I learn fast, ship fast, and I'm obsessed with automation. I hate repetitive work, so I build tools to eliminate it. Recent Projects: → Under 200KB: A file compression tool that's helped 1,000+ students bypass portal upload limits. Built in 48 hours using vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript, HTML Canvas, and PDF.js. Scored 100/100 on all Google Lighthouse metrics. Weighs 37KB. Inducted into the 512KB Club. → SPE Automations: Reference letter generator that creates custom letters based on member roles using PHP and JavaScript. Live leaderboard system for engagement tracking. Real-time membership dashboard that pulls data from SPEi APIs and Google Forms. Built these because manual processes are inefficient. → TEDxSabonGari Website: Overhauled an outdated template into a modern Next.js application with Node.js backend and custom Content Management System (CMS). Anyone on the team can update speakers, tickets, and team information via a simple text file. The site updates live automatically. Zero technical knowledge required. Deployed on Vercel. → Babanenne Designs: Complete digital infrastructure for a luxury fashion brand. Started with logo design, built their e-commerce platform using React and Next.js, then created a custom business management application integrating inventory tracking, order management, CRM, and automated workflows. Reduced manual processes by 40%. I also do client work: full-stack web development, software systems, API development, and automation solutions. I take on projects where I can build something meaningful and cut down time or money exponentially. Technical Capabilities: • HTML/CSS/JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, PHP, Node.js • Responsive design, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, API integration, performance optimization • Vercel, Git, version control • Process simulation (DWSim, Aspen HYSYS), molecular simulation, material & energy balance, process design, automation engineering • VS Code, Git, Adobe Illustrator Currently: → President of SPE ABU Zaria (700+ members) → Building automation systems and web applications → Taking on select client projects → Based in Zaria, working remotely If you have a problem that needs solving, especially if it's repetitive, inefficient, or technical, let's talk. 📧 [email protected] 💻 www.usman.engineer
