Projects

Systems, not side projects

The infrastructure I've led and built runs quietly under real products, moving real money for millions of people. That's the portfolio, most of it invisible by design.

Cards

Card issuing infrastructure

Led the engineering of a card issuing platform, from processor integrations and authorization flows to controls, disputes, and settlement, powering virtual and physical cards for millions of users.

  • Real-time authorization decisioning
  • Multi-processor architecture
  • Chargeback and dispute pipelines

Payments

Cross-border payment rails

Built the systems that move money across borders and currencies. Routing, FX, compliance checkpoints, and the reconciliation machinery that keeps every ledger honest across markets.

  • Multi-corridor routing
  • Automated reconciliation
  • Sub-minute settlement paths

Platform

Merchant payment APIs

Designed developer-facing payment APIs that businesses build on. Idempotent by default, versioned carefully, documented obsessively. The kind of API you integrate once and forget about, because it never surprises you.

  • Idempotency-first design
  • Webhook delivery guarantees
  • 99.99% availability target

Stablecoins

Stablecoin settlement infrastructure

Engineered the bridge between traditional rails and stablecoin liquidity. Treasury operations, on/off-ramps, and settlement flows that treat digital dollars with the same rigor as bank money.

  • On-chain/off-chain reconciliation
  • Treasury automation
  • Compliance-grade audit trails

Beyond fintech

Range, in service of depth

Payments is home, but I've built founding systems in other industries too. Each one sharpened something I brought back to financial infrastructure.

Construction tech

Cutstruct

Founding engineer & architect

Led and architected the founding system of Cutstruct, a project management and procurement platform for Africa's construction industry. Think Jira for construction sites. BOQs, schedules, and material workflows in one system, with payments built in from day one, including price-locked ordering and pay-later financing for contractors.

Compliance tech

Softpass

Founder

Founded a compliance technology company offering customer KYC, AML screening, and anti-money-laundering checks as a service. I ran it for a year before making the deliberate call to wind it down, a founder's education in regulatory infrastructure that now informs how I build compliance into payment systems.

Edutech

CliqLite

Founding engineer, at Intelligent Innovations

Worked on the founding system of CliqLite, a kids' learning application built for one of Nigeria's biggest telcos, serving a subscriber base of over three million at the time. Curriculum-aligned lessons, exam-prep content, and parental controls, delivered at telco scale.
