About

Senior backend engineer with deep payments expertise.

Senior backend engineer with 7+ years building production SaaS platforms, with deep specialization in payment integrations across Stripe, and mobile money systems. Architected and shipped microservices serving multi-region user bases across fintech, ticketing, dating, and e-learning verticals.

Enow Divine is a senior software engineer based in Buea, Cameroon, building production SaaS and payments infrastructure for clients across the US, Europe, and Africa. Started freelancing in 2018, formalized into a small studio (SaaS Simplified) shortly after.

Specializes in backend systems: microservices, REST and GraphQL APIs, payment gateway integrations, multi-currency systems. Equally comfortable across the stack — React, Next.js, React Native — when the work calls for it.

Has shipped 20+ production projects across fintech, ticketing, e-commerce, e-learning, and on-demand services. Currently embedded with three product teams in parallel: Impact Factors (US), Primus Learning (US), and Tando Dating (Switzerland) — while running SaaS Simplified on the side.

Open to senior remote roles where the work is technically meaningful, the team is competent, and the scope is real.
