I build production systems and the documentation that makes them usable.
I'm based in Lagos. Lately my work has skewed toward fintech and edutech: shipping products end to end, keeping internal systems maintainable, and writing technical docs.
I work remotely, so most weeks I'm at home in front of a screen. That's why I gravitate toward meetups, conferences, and casual community events when I can; they're a reset and a reminder that software is still made by people in rooms.
Away from the keyboard I read, poke at side projects, listen to Coldplay and hunt for more reasons to leave the house.
Contract work has taken me through Binta Financial, Compass AI, and Husridge. I do full-stack product and platform engineering, zero-to-one MVPs with small teams; mostly remote, with an uncharacteristic bias for speed.
Usually React, Next and Angular. TypeScript everywhere. Dashboards, full marketing sites; design systems people pretend they do not need until the third inconsistent button, and 3D. I design too, rarely.
Service layers and APIs I can still explain six months later, integrations with third-party providers, and data models that do not fall apart when the domain shifts.
React Native with Expo for production apps; EAS for builds, store submissions, and env management.
Docker, Elasticsearch, GitHub Actions, Cloudflare, AWS, GCP, Azure—whatever the environment already uses. Working toward an AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification, and comfortable with CloudFormation and Terraform.
RAG over internal docs, embeddings living in PGVector, LangChain, FastAPI when Python is the shortest path.
The details, the decisions, the outcomes.
A patient-centred health records experience built for Nigerian healthcare: one place for hospitals, doctors, lab staff, and patients to share context rather than lose it between visits and facilities.
