Caleb Durojaiye

Hello, I'm Caleb.

SWEngineer designing & building product systems with taste.

I'm a software engineer comfortable working across the stack, with a particular interest in polished, expressive interfaces and product systems. I'm available for contract work through localBoat, the independent design and development studio I run.

Experience

I've worked across startups, and independent product environments, building an adaptable practice that moves between strategy, interface design, frontend systems, and full-stack implementation. That range has taught me how to enter different kinds of teams, understand the shape of the work quickly, and contribute with care from idea to shipped product.
