Frontend Developer — React · Next.js · TypeScript
David Abuoma
I design and build production websites and web apps that are fast, usable, and built to scale — from transit platforms to streaming and fintech.
DALatest ship — AbiaWay Transit
Live products, real users.
A few of my most recent ships — transit, video conferencing, kids' coding, and in-browser AI.
Smart transit system built for speed — real-time bus tracking on an interactive map, digital wallet payments with NFC tap simulation, and route planning in one installable PWA.
Listens live and detects Bible verses as they're spoken — Whisper transcription runs entirely in the browser, no server, with an operator console and second-screen projection.
One safe space for messaging, social, commerce, and creativity across every tribe — tribe-based discovery, Nigerian language support, and LGA-level hyperlocal content.
A luxury fashion storefront where elegance meets code — curated product rails, a variant-aware persistent cart, JWT accounts with wishlists, and checkout across Stripe, Paystack, and Flutterwave.
A full church platform for Dominion City Lagos, Ajah — sermons, events, ministries, and books, with Stripe + Paystack giving, prayer requests, and a testimony forum on Firebase.
Digital cooperative savings & trust — a ROSCA platform with role-based access: members track contributions and payout turns, admins run the circle from a dedicated terminal.
Team-built task manager with real auth, URL-synced filters, debounced search, and designed loading/empty/error states — shipped with PR workflow discipline.
A Netflix-style streaming experience that puts international and Nigerian movies on one cinematic shelf — fast, static-first discovery with equal billing for both catalogs.
Timed quizzes across 12 categories with XP levels, daily streaks, seeded daily challenges, achievements, global leaderboards, and head-to-head friend duels — trust enforced by Firestore rules.
Meet-class video conferencing on a Turborepo — Mediasoup SFU media, Socket.IO signaling over Redis, host controls, cloud recording, and an AI assistant for summaries and action items.
Visual HTML/CSS blocks with live preview, robot coding challenges, a free build studio, and co-build duels by room code — a playful coding platform for ages 6–12.
I turn designs into products people love to use.
I'm a frontend developer who ships complete web experiences — React and Next.js applications with design-system precision, from the first component to production deployment. TypeScript, responsive layouts, motion, and API integration are my daily tools.
My work spans transit platforms, streaming, fintech, e-commerce, and AI-powered tools. Whatever the domain, I care about the same things: fast first paint, honest UI states, and interfaces that hold up under real users.
My background reaches beyond the browser — mobile apps, backend APIs, and AI integrations — so I plug into any stack and speak the backend's language. But the browser is home, and that's the bar I bring to any team I join.
Frontend is my craft. Product thinking is my edge.
I build production web experiences end to end — from design system to deployment. That's what lets me ship sites that actually work.
Frontend Engineering (React · Next.js · TypeScript)
I don't just write components — I ship complete web experiences. From pixel-perfect React and Next.js interfaces to design systems, responsive layouts, motion, and API integration, I own the frontend end to end.
I've built products across transit, education, fintech, and streaming — marketing sites, PWAs, dashboards, and e-commerce built to handle real users and real traffic. With past work across mobile apps and AI products, I plug into any stack — but the browser is where I do my best work.
API Integration
Interfaces are only as good as the data behind them. I wire REST APIs, realtime listeners, and auth flows into honest UI states — loading, empty, error, and live.
Motion & Interaction
Great interfaces move with intent. Micro-interactions, page transitions, and scroll-driven moments that guide attention without getting in the way.
Cloud & Deployment
From first commit to custom domain. Preview deploys, CI pipelines, and hosting that make every merge shippable — this portfolio ships exactly this way.
Performance & SEO
Fast is a feature. Core Web Vitals, image optimization, static-first delivery, and semantic HTML that search engines and screen readers both love.
Selected work.

What people say about working with me
“Working with David on AbiaWay Transit, I saw an engineer who takes reliability seriously — clean integration points, no shortcuts, and a frontend that holds up under real-world use.”
“David is the kind of engineer designers love working with. On Tech X, he treated the design system as a contract — what I designed is what shipped, down to the micro-interactions.”
“Building IYRIS with David was seamless — he owns his surface end to end, communicates clearly, and writes code the rest of the team can easily build on.”
“David built the website for my boutique and captured exactly what the business needed — my customers can now browse and shop my collections online.”
Let's build something
worth shipping.
I'm looking for teams who care about real outcomes — not just feature velocity. If you're building products that need to work under pressure, let's talk.
