Product Engineer · Systems Builder · Full-Stack Infrastructure

I build backends and web products that actually ship.

Portfolio Email LinkedIn X Medium npm


I work with founders and growing teams to design, architect, and ship production-grade software — backend systems, APIs, fintech infrastructure, full-stack web products, and developer tooling.

I don't just close tickets. I think about the system, make the hard call early, and build things that hold up when real users show up.

Build fast. Build clean. Build systems that last.


What I actually do

  • Design and build production backend systems from scratch — auth, wallets, ledgers, payment flows
  • Architect APIs that scale with traffic and stay maintainable as teams grow
  • Ship full-stack web products end to end — frontend, backend, database, deployment
  • Debug and stabilise existing codebases that are falling over in production
  • Build developer tooling that solves real workflow problems
  • Make sound technical decisions early — so you don't pay for them later

Project Description Link
contextpack CLI that bundles any codebase into a single LLM-ready file. Stop copy-pasting files into Claude or ChatGPT one by one. npm npm · github
lazydb Keyboard-driven terminal UI for databases — like lazygit but for SQL. Supports Postgres, MySQL, SQLite. Built in Go with bubbletea + lipgloss. github
Fintech Banking Backend Production NestJS backend for a Nigerian mobile banking app — phone-number-first auth, OTP with brute force lockout, atomic wallet creation, full ledger system split into focused modules. Strict TypeScript throughout. private

Email Verifier API Lightweight, production-ready email validation API built in Go. render

How I think about production systems

Things I've learned from actually shipping and maintaining systems under real conditions:

  • Validate environment variables at startup. Not buried in a function — at boot. If something is required, the service should tell you exactly what's missing, not die with a cryptic trace.
  • Never rely on files for secrets in PaaS deployments. Render, Vercel, Railway — they don't have your gitignored files. Serialise secrets to environment variables.
  • Determinism is a feature. For scheduled jobs, daily content, seeded selection — design for it explicitly. Don't rely on the runtime to give you consistency it was never designed to provide.
  • Store money in the smallest unit. Kobo, cents, pence. Never floats.
  • Atomic operations for anything financial. MongoDB transactions exist for a reason. Use them.
  • Split services by responsibility, not by size. A ledger service that does money movement, querying, reconciliation, and helpers in one file is a liability. Split it early.

Engineering philosophy

Great products are systems, not features.

Clean foundations > flashy launches. Long-term value > short-term hacks.

The best time to make the right architectural call is before you have 50k users and a deadline. I try to make those calls early.


Availability

Open to backend contracts, full-stack product builds, fintech engineering, and startup partnerships.
