About Olawale Lawal

Hi, I'm Lawal Olawale (aka OluwaVader). I'm a software engineer with a deep interests in building scalable backend systems, designing reliable APIs and solving real-world engineering problems with clean and maintainable code.

I started this blog as a space to document things I've learnt and picked up while I was I build things. From battling with distributed systems, exploring design patterns or experimenting with new technologies, I share it all on here.

My goal is to write posts that are:

  • Practical: grounded in real-world experience
  • Straightforward - no fluff, just value
  • Shareable - something I'd want to forward to a teammate

What I write About

  • System architecture & backend engineering
  • .NET Core, C# and cloud-native patterns
  • APIs, queues, caching and database performance
  • Developer tools, debugging and productivity

Why This Blog Exists

Writing helps me think more clearly and it also helps others. If even one engineer avoids a rabbit hole because of something I wrote, then I believe this blog is doing its job.

If you're into systems that scale, clean architecture or obsessing over edge case, you'll definitely love it here.
