Joseph Abah

I'm a senior software engineer and former CTO with over 15 years of experience building enterprise systems and e-commerce solutions. I'm currently working as a Senior Backend Engineer at Mytheresa, one of Europe's largest e-commerce companies, where I build GraphQL APIs using Go and PHP.

Throughout my career, I've led development teams and built robust solutions for government agencies and high-traffic e-commerce platforms. I specialize in Go, Java, PHP, JavaScript, and have intermediate skills in C#. I'm also experienced with AWS cloud services and Kubernetes for deploying scalable applications.

What makes my courses valuable is my real-world experience – I've been in the trenches solving complex problems at scale. As a former CTO at Decagon, I grew the technical team from 20 to 100+ employees while leading the development of government reporting platforms and various web applications.

I'm passionate about software craftsmanship and best practices, especially when it comes to writing testable, secure, and maintainable code. I believe in taking a pragmatic approach to software development, focusing on what actually works in production environments.

My goal is to share practical knowledge that you can immediately apply to your own projects. Whether you're looking to level up your backend development skills or learn best practices for building scalable systems, I'll guide you through each step with clear, concise explanations based on my years of hands-on experience.

Join me on this learning journey, and let's build better software together!
