I'm a Software QA/Test Engineer with experience in transforming business requirements into risk-based & context-driven implementations that mitigate software risks, improve user satisfaction, and prevent reputational & financial loss.
I have spent the last 12+ years in Nigeria's tech ecosystem working on 250+ Fintech, RegTech, Ed-Tech, HealthTech, EnterpriseTech and TravelTech products (APIs, Web, Mobile, Microservices), through 1500+ test lifecycles.
My commitment is evident in my contributions to building reputable industry applications like CentralPay, CMMS, mCASH, ICAD, eBillsPay, I'm Alive, GSI, BVN, & NIP from quality & process perspectives.
My career has witnessed some historical moments - like when I certified Nigeria's first Android POS and tested the Biometric Authentication API for interbank ATM & PoS transactions.
My expertise has directly benefitted the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Nigerian Stock Exchange, MTN, Kenya's IPSL, West African Examination Council, Reddington Hospital, Union Bank, Wema Bank, Diamond Bank, GTBank (in Nigeria, Ivory Coast, & Kenya), Forte Oil etc.
I have interacted with applications (via integrations and testing) from across the African continent & beyond - MOHOIS (Ghana), EU Mobile, Orange Money (Cameroon), Airtel Money (Kenya), FawryPay (Egypt), Zynle (Zambia), Amole (Ethiopia), Zapper, FNB (South Africa), WorldPay (USA) etc.
