03 About
I'm Bendy Paul — a software engineer and founder based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. I build full-stack platforms that turn fragmented information into products people can actually use.
My work spans Laravel and PHP backends, MySQL data models, Alpine.js and Tailwind frontends, and Linux deployments on DigitalOcean. I've built for the African tech, energy, education and media sectors — from a 1,000-company energy directory to a daily oil and gas news platform.
As founder of InStreamIQ, I lead product direction as well as the code. That means I care as much about the outcome as the implementation — and I'd rather ship something useful than something merely clever.
