About
I'm a full-stack engineer working remotely from Nigeria, with more than five years of experience. I build SaaS products, mobile apps, marketplaces, and the payment systems underneath them, usually as the engineer responsible for the whole thing, from the database schema to the deploy pipeline. I've shipped production platforms across education, logistics, field operations, and commerce, most of them as the only engineer.
Right now I'm Founder and CTO at SmartEdu, a school-management platform built for schools across Africa. I'm also a full-stack engineer at Nexlen Systems, a UK-based company, working on the Next.js and React Native apps for its trades platform, and the only engineer on VerraEarth, a marketplace with Stripe Connect payouts and escrow, and on StackMSP, a live MSP platform with a signed Go Windows agent. I built TruckPayPro for fleet payroll and dispatch, and JanitorIQ for cleaning-company operations. On mobile, I build the React Native app for Neurapath, a private messaging and calling app. Before that I led engineering on FairChild Institute's learning platform, was contract CTO for Tegy, a San Francisco freight startup, and led backend architecture at Raffles Energies.
Most of my work is TypeScript: Next.js and React on the web, React Native and Expo on mobile (Flutter before that), Node.js on the back, PostgreSQL and Redis underneath, and Go where it fits. Outside client work I also ship personal systems projects in Go, Rust, and C# — a double-entry payment ledger, a concurrent workflow engine, and a Rust event-ingestion service. I write the tests too, including a 373-test Playwright suite for SmartEdu. I do my best work on problems that involve money or many tenants: escrow and split payments, billing, background jobs, and keeping one customer's data away from another's.
