What I do

Product engineering

I take products from rough idea to running in production—shaping the system architecture, designing the APIs, and building the interfaces and AI workflows on top of them.

  • Full-Stack Architecture
  • API Design
  • AI Workflows
  • Performance
See the work

Systems & infrastructure

Underneath the user interface, I design and build the core services that have to stay fast under load and recover when parts fail—working across distributed systems, storage engines, network protocols, and concurrent workloads.

  • Distributed Systems
  • Database Internals
  • Networking
  • Concurrency
See the work

Research & writing

I break down complex topics in applied cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and systems engineering into clear, approachable essays—turning dense math and specifications into working code and practical intuition.

  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs
  • Applied Cryptography
  • Protocol Design
  • Technical Writing

Experience

  1. Software Engineer

    Zynta

    Mar 2025 – Oct 2026

    Cross-border stablecoin and fiat payments platform processing $1B+ in volume. Remote.

    • Led development across the customer, enterprise, and admin web platforms—including instant virtual IBAN issuance—for a payment network handling over $1B in volume.
    • Engineered the core swap and transfer flows across on-chain and banking rails, building fault-tolerant recovery paths that kept financial discrepancies at zero and transaction reliability above 98%.
    • Monitored production errors across the frontend and backend with Sentry, tracing issues to their root cause and shipping the fixes.
    • Shipped an interactive in-app AI assistant that guides users through complex workflows and renders dynamic UI steps directly in chat, reducing customer support tickets by over 40%.
    • Architected an audit-grade, double-entry ledger to track every fiat and crypto deposit, swap, and withdrawal as a single source of truth across the platform.
    • Configured streaming database replication and read-replica routing to strengthen data durability and cut primary database load by 70%.
  2. Blockchain Developer & Tutor

    Web3Bridge

    Aug 2024 – Present

    Developer accelerator and Web3 engineering community. Lagos, Nigeria.

    • Mentor cohorts of 30+ engineers weekly on blockchain architecture, applied cryptography, and zero-knowledge proofs.
    • Architected and shipped smart contracts, cross-chain bridges, and web applications across DeFi, commodity trading, and event ticketing products.
  3. Full-Stack Developer

    Cesel

    Apr 2024 – Aug 2024

    Product studio and software consultancy. Akure, Nigeria.

    • Owned the end-to-end web platform, customer dashboards, and backend APIs for Irrigo, taking the product from initial concept to launch.
    • Standardized shared UI and backend modules across internal projects, cutting feature delivery time for new builds by over 30%.
  4. Frontend Developer

    Schoolable

    Nov 2023 – Jun 2024

    Financial and operational platform for schools and businesses. Remote.

    • Built core payroll and inventory management workflows that helped businesses automate recurring payouts and stock tracking.
    • Unified data flows and API integrations across 3 internal applications, so operations teams worked from one set of data.
