Hi, I'm John Edeh.

I build as a |

I architect production-grade web platforms and the automated cloud infrastructure they run on — from Next.js frontends to Terraform pipelines and Nginx reverse-proxies.

A Systems-First Developer.

I don't just build features — I build platforms. My focus is the intersection of application logic and the underlying infrastructure that makes it scale.

My journey began with deep curiosity about how large-scale systems stay online. Today I specialise in full-stack applications with Next.js and NestJS, while simultaneously architecting the AWS and Nginx environments they run on.

Whether it's configuring a CI/CD pipeline that auto-updates on-premise Docker installations, or designing a FIFO-based P&L engine for a petroleum marketplace — I approach every problem with data integrity, real-time performance, and production reliability at the centre.

Currently at The Punch Nigeria Ltd, managing web infrastructure serving millions of readers daily. Also building Vendra, a platform to empower Nigerian micro-merchants with professional digital storefronts.
