Backend engineer at VeendHQ building lending systems; created a recovery engine that recovered ₦69M.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
At VeendHQ (Vida AI), I built and operate Vida, an embedded credit and BNPL platform serving multiple lending partners. I built its loan-recovery engine, which recovered ₦69M from a delinquent portfolio, and its direct-debit infrastructure with idempotent payment operations.
At Enyata, I owned the backend for three client products, including a fashion marketplace, a creator-economy platform, and a care-coordination platform. In independent contracts with Sellyt and Rayonner, I built subscription billing and travel-booking systems with reliable payment and webhook processing.
