Hi, I'm

Chiemeka “Rey” Madufor.Full Stack Engineer.

I build software end to end: the systems behind the scenes and the screens people use. By day, that is a live platform of real-money online games. After hours, SikerCV, a CV builder I make on my own, and Tenriva, where I lead the engineering.

What I do

One engineer, many hats.

I go where the problem is. Pick a role on the wheel to see what I do in it. The list keeps growing.

About

Mechanical engineer turned full stack engineer.

I studied Mechanical Engineering in Hungary, then switched to software because I wanted to build things people use every day. I started with the parts people see, earned an MSc in IT with Business Data Analytics along the way, and kept learning my way deeper into how software works.

Since then I have done most of the jobs a product needs: led a team building games, worked on the servers of a live games platform, led the engineering of one software business and built another on my own. I enjoy the less visible work too: data, testing, documentation and getting releases out safely.

I am always learning something new, and I love games: playing them, taking them apart to see how they work, and making them.

Photography

Away from the keyboard, I take photos.

Streets, light and people, mostly on walks. More of it lives on Instagram.

Play

I love games. Take a break.

I play them, pull them apart and build them. Here are five small ones, drawn in the same squares as the top of the page. Pick one and press Play.
