I build scalable Rails platforms for payments, operations, and customer experiences.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I've built and improved Rails platforms for Send Forwarding, Campteller, Andela, Kinship, and Litmus, translating business requirements into maintainable product features.
At Campteller, I worked on a Pan-African cross-border tuition payments platform, delivering multi-currency pricing, settlement logic, provider integrations, reconciliation, fraud detection, and webhook verification.
At Send Forwarding, I led zero-downtime UUIDv7 database migration work and delivered purchase orders, invoicing, shipment workflows, chat, notifications, and role-based permissions.
My work spans Ruby on Rails, React, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, and automated testing. I enjoy building impactful products, mentoring engineers, and improving engineering execution.
