About
Modurotolu Olokode
I am a full-stack engineer. I spend most of my time on interfaces people can actually use and the APIs those interfaces depend on — usually TypeScript, React, and Node, sometimes Python when the problem calls for it.
What I do
I design and ship web applications: component systems, data fetching, authentication surfaces, testing, and the unglamorous work of making a product hold together. I also write about trade-offs — REST and GraphQL, mobile performance, how to test — because writing is how I check whether I understand the thing.
What I care about
Clarity over ceremony. Accessibility as a product constraint, not a cleanup pass. Systems that a small team can change without a ceremony of tools. I came to software after industrial and production engineering; I still think in processes, bottlenecks, and what happens when a step is skipped.
Areas of interest
- TypeScript and React on the frontend, Node on the server
- API design, caching, and the cost of the wrong fetch shape
- Accessibility and performance as ordinary engineering
- AI as a tool inside a product, not a costume around one
- Mentoring and writing in public
