00 — About
Mobile engineer. Builder of teams.
Asaba, Nigeria · WAT (UTC+1)
I’m Godswill Azubike, a Senior Mobile Engineer who has spent 8+ years shipping production software, most of it Flutter apps on the App Store and Google Play.
I’ve built apps across e-commerce, fintech, logistics, messaging and EdTech: four-sided delivery platforms, real-time chat, marketplaces and point-of-sale systems. I care about clean architecture, predictable state management and offline-first design that survives real-world networks.
I work across the whole mobile stack: the Flutter app, the native Swift and Kotlin edges, and the Firebase and Google Cloud services behind it. I’ve co-founded a delivery startup as its CTO and led engineering as a principal engineer for nearly seven years, so I’m comfortable owning architecture, releases and the conversations with product and backend that make them work.
I also love teaching. I’ve trained 30+ developers in Flutter, led the Google Developer Groups community in Asaba, and mentor the engineers I work with through code review and pairing.
01 — Principles
How I work
Ship to the store, not to staging
Done means in users’ hands. I plan for signing, review, rollout and crash monitoring from the start.
Architecture that scales with the team
Clear layers and predictable state, so the tenth engineer is as productive as the first.
Offline is a feature
Real networks are slow and flaky. Apps should stay fast and usable when the connection isn’t.
Communicate early
Clear written updates, honest estimates and API contracts agreed before code is written.
