I build Java microservices and payment integrations for fintech platforms.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable fintech and payment systems, working on Java microservices, bank integrations, secure APIs, and production-grade transaction workflows.

I've built and supported Java/Spring Boot services at eTranzact International Plc for NRS-certified electronic invoicing, bank integrations, and enterprise fintech platforms including CorporatePay, PayOutlet, and PocketMoni. I migrated a legacy Java EE 2FA service to a Spring Boot microservice and onboarded more than 15 Nigerian banks for Active Directory authentication and OTP validation.

Previously at Prunny Technologies, I developed payment-processing microservices and integrated Remita and Afrigo APIs. I also teach Java, supervise software projects, and bring hands-on experience with production troubleshooting, secure coding, CI/CD, and relational databases.
