About
Modurotolu Olokode
I am a Product 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 products: component systems, data fetching, authentication surfaces, testing, and the unglamorous work of making a product hold together. I also write about trade-offs, building and learning.
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 opportunity costs
- Accessibility and performance as ordinary engineering
- AI as a tool inside a product, not a costume around one
- Mentoring and writing in public
