I build systems that work in production — from financial platforms and cloud APIs to mobile apps and audio tools. I've shipped an entire music product ecosystem from scratch.
I'm Shotunde Sulaimon Akorede — a Nigerian backend engineer and independent product builder based in Nigeria. I specialise in building scalable systems with .NET Core, Flutter, Azure, and Cloudflare Workers, and I've spent the last few years turning product ideas into live, revenue-generating software.
My most significant work is NaijaBeats — a full music ecosystem I designed and shipped end-to-end, covering beat licensing, MIDI packs, short-form video, audio mastering automation, and mobile apps. Beyond tech, I produce Afrobeat music and write about systems thinking, AI, and the future of African technology.
If you're looking for Shotunde Akorede — whether to hire, collaborate, or explore the work — you're in the right place.
Full-stack with a backend focus. I build, deploy, and ship end-to-end.
A full music platform I designed and built end-to-end — web, mobile, API, and audio tools — serving African music producers.
Flutter + React Native cross-platform apps
Automated audio mastering for African genres
Beat & sample pack distribution and delivery
Three domains — each one feeding the others.
Most developers write code. I build product ecosystems with a business loop attached.
Built and deployed an entire music ecosystem — 6+ products running in production, real users, real revenue model.
"If one sale works, it can scale to 1000." I design for monetization from day one — free → dependency → revenue.
That combination — technical depth, product thinking, and real-world market sense — is rare. I operate at all three levels.
Building AI-assisted audio tools — mastering automation, MIDI generation, and mobile-first workflows for African producers.
