As Head of Technical Operations & Infrastructure (Lead Contractor) for International Trade Partner (Asia-Nigeria Corridor), I designed and managed an API ecosystem integrated with Paystack. It facilitated multi-billion Naira transaction volumes weekly.

I oversaw international-to-local fund disbursements and maintained payment gateway integrity across Nigerian banking networks. I also managed an operational budget and a specialized team of technical developers and corporate directors.

Earlier, as a POS Cluster Manager/Relation Manager/Aggregator under contract with Palmpay, Opay, Nomba and Moniepoint, I developed marketing tactics, sought sales opportunities and maintained business relationships. At First bank Nig Ltd, I worked on marketing strategies, campaign analysis and market research.
