Full-Stack Engineer · Backend · AI Agents · Security

Self-taught since 2020. Shipping to production since 2024. I build the systems that run underneath things, and the AI agents that keep working long after everyone else has logged off.

Nf3— Development

Self-taught. Shipping since 2024.

I started coding in 2020 and haven't stopped since. For years I built things without real users on the line. Then in 2024 I started shipping to production: real users, real traffic, real consequences. That's the part that actually teaches you anything.

Today the work spans the full stack: React and React Native on the front end, Node and Express underneath, RabbitMQ and Redis holding the busy parts together, and a growing practice building AI agents: systems that don't just answer questions but go do things. I also spend time on the other side of the fence, penetration testing and vulnerability auditing, because you write more careful code once you've broken a few systems yourself.

Middlegame— where the real decisions happen

Selected work

Salesive

Backend
salesive.com ↗

An e-commerce and sales-management platform for African small businesses. You can spin up a store, manage inventory and orders, take card and bank-transfer payments, and sell straight through WhatsApp, while Ola (its AI) handles product questions and customer replies. I handle the backend: API design, data layer, and the infrastructure that keeps it running in production.

Patchride

Backend
patchride.com ↗

Deliver anything across your city in minutes: Patchride instantly connects you with trusted logistics providers nearby to get a package, document, or product picked up and delivered. Same story: backend engineering end to end, built to stay up under real traffic.

Billdem.ai

Builder
billdem.ai ↗

An AI agent that does the least pleasant part of running a small business for you: chasing down unpaid invoices. It watches what's overdue and follows up automatically, polite and persistent, awake at hours you're not.

Tally Nigeria

Backend
tally.com.ng ↗

A bookkeeping and accounting platform for Nigerian businesses, built around a simple idea: the payment is the bookkeeping. It records transactions, tracks income and expenses, and turns everyday payment activity into real financial records, so businesses can see exactly where they stand.
