about

I’m a software engineer in Lagos with 4+ years of experience building production software for fintech, SaaS, event platforms, and developer tools. I’ve worked on everything from financial and reconciliation workflows to RBAC-heavy dashboards, subscription experiences, booking systems, and developer-facing tools.

I like complicated problems — especially the kind that look simple once they’ve been solved well. I care about building software that is technically sound without making the user think about the engineering behind it. That means owning features end to end, making thoughtful architectural decisions, working closely with product and design, writing tests, and staying close enough to production to fix what breaks.

  • When every step has different product rules

    Collaborated on the Islamic Financing Booking flow on Mizan — multi-step selection, PRD-aligned calculations, collateral uploads, and edit/restructure flows so bank relationship managers never restart from scratch.

  • Zero to production-ready backend

    Architected EventFlutter’s APIs from scratch — multi-role auth with OTP verification, creator and vendor escrow payments, ticketing, and notifications across FCM, email, and in-app via RabbitMQ.

  • Ops tools people open every morning

    At KiaKia Finance, shipped multi-role admin dashboards, reconciliation workflows, Dedicated Virtual account, merchant invoicing, and Playwright E2E tests across the flows that keep money moving.

  • More than frontend on a SaaS team

    At Daply, wired up Stripe billing, Twilio WhatsApp/SMS, GoHighLevel CRM sync, CMS author APIs, and scheduled digest emails — the kind of work that sits behind the UI.
