Taiwo Ogunyemi is a Software Engineer and one of the expert technologists found at Andela. “I help companies speed up their web apps by fixing slow database queries and using CDNs.” He specialises in Java, PHP, NestJS, Vue, ReactJS, AWS, and Kubernetes. Client experience is top of mind for Taiwo. “I make sure my clients have a great experience by communicating clearly, setting realistic expectations, and delivering on time. I also take time to understand their goals, suggest better solutions when needed, and keep them updated throughout the project to make sure we’re always on the same page.” “If a client isn’t sure what they need, I start by asking clear questions to understand their goals and challenges. Then, I use my experience to suggest practical solutions, explain the pros and cons, and help them make informed decisions. My critical thinking helps me spot potential issues early and find the best approach, making me a trusted advisor who guides the team toward successful results.” We asked Taiwo what skills he thinks are going to be the most important for organizations in the coming year. “I believe AI is growing very fast, and companies will increasingly look for developers with experience in Machine Learning, Cloud Platforms (like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud), and AI integration into products. Having a strong foundation in programming, plus hands-on experience with MCP (Modern Cloud Practices), will be key for staying competitive.” Taiwo’s advice on the tech industry and the future of work? “The tech industry is changing faster than ever, so staying curious and open to learning new skills is key to staying relevant. Also, remote work and collaboration tools are here to stay, making teamwork across different locations more important. Finally, as AI and automation grow, combining technical skills with creativity and problem-solving will make professionals stand out and add real value in the future of work.” Tired of the lag in your web apps?
