What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale secure fintech backend systems—KYC/AML-aware APIs, microservices, and distributed infrastructure—with teams that value fault-tolerant design and practical delivery.

I architect secure KYC, AML screening, and identity verification workflows for fintech at Creditveto, integrating NIBSS BVN/NIN validation to speed up compliant onboarding. I’ve also built high-throughput payment infrastructure (bill payments, domestic/international transfers) and double-entry ledger accounting to keep transactions consistent at scale.

Earlier, at Kinetic, I modularized core infrastructure into independent components and partnered with the CTO to turn business objectives into technical deliverables. I’ve led teams building microservices APIs, property search with Go and Elasticsearch, and ERP backend infrastructure that’s scaled to 1,000+ concurrent users with 99.9% uptime.
