Ridwan Taiwo - CTO & Systems Architect
🚀 About This Hacker
Greetings, people! I'm a problem solver with about a decade of experience shipping products across different spaces and industries. One of my core problem-solving tools is building systems - I've designed and architected many, scaling them from initial concepts to enterprise-level solutions.
I love to tinker with systems and have fun while doing it. I'm a learner, a systems-thinking individual, an engineer, and a pretty chilled person. I know when to optimize for perfection, speed, results, or a balanced mix. I've been doing this for a while and I'm pretty good at figuring out how to do things.
