What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build secure, high-throughput full-stack and backend systems, collaborating with stakeholders and mentoring engineers while solving complex fintech, cloud, and product challenges.

I've led full-stack engineering at Manaknight Digital, architecting and deploying React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js applications while setting standards for code quality, security, testing, and delivery.

As Co-Founder and CPO at Packet Africa, I drove the technical vision for a production web platform, payment collection engine, digital voting system, and real-time ticketing platform built for high-concurrency traffic.

I build secure APIs, performant interfaces, and containerized cloud systems across Node.js, Python, React, AWS, Docker, SQL, and MongoDB. My work includes fintech, core banking, supply-chain fulfillment, housing, and AI visual-production products.
