Faidat Toriola

I’m Faidat Toriola, a frontend engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I’ve been building frontend applications since 2021, mostly with React and Vue, for fintech, logistics, education and community platforms. Optional: I came into tech from a Biology Education degree, so I know what it’s like to learn this the long way round.

I write about the “why” behind frontend decisions: why we pick an SPA or SSR, what to cache and what never to, and where performance and security actually matter. I write as I learn, in plain language and with everyday analogies, so I still remember where the confusion lives.

Currently writing: Frontend System Design: Understanding the Web, Designing Architectures, and Making Better Engineering Decisions. Chapter 1 is free to read.
