Johnson Adegboye Adelere
Full-stack developer and IT manager based in Lagos, Nigeria — building the systems behind non-profits, fintech ideas, and cultural platforms.
One developer, running the whole stack.
About
Johnson designs and ships production software end to end. He has been the sole technical operator behind an international non-profit's entire digital presence since 2019 — its website, email systems, and the technology running its annual student conference — while also founding and building ventures of his own in fintech, education, and culture.
His path started in mechanical engineering, turned toward self-taught software training in Lagos, and took him through a stint in Cyprus before returning to Nigeria, where he now runs his own venture, Tech Giant Africa, and keeps a hand in every layer of the products he builds: frontend, backend, deployment, and the people who use them.
