Methuselah Nwodobeh
Backend Developer
Building scalable microservices, secure authentication systems, and AI-powered applications
About Me
Summary
👋 Hi, I’m Methuselah — a backend developer with a soft spot for clean architecture, clever bots, and caffeine-powered side projects. From building Spring Boot APIs that run smoother than butter, to wiring up image search engines with Django and React, I turn ideas into functional, scalable, and (sometimes surprisingly fun) software. I’ve wrangled secrets out of codebases, built secure chat apps just for two, and even dared to use Tree-sitter and ANTLR to make code itself searchable. Whether it’s scraping the web, spinning up microservices, or teaching a Flutter app to talk to Firebase, I’m all about practical solutions, fast iterations, and the occasional midnight “what if” feature. Let’s build something cool — or weird. Weird works too.
