What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own impactful builds from Figma to production, especially products involving APIs, CRM automation, e-commerce, payments, and AI integrations in remote-first Agile teams.

I've spent 8+ years shipping Laravel systems that connect businesses with CRMs, e-commerce platforms, payment gateways, and AI services. My work ranges from multi-gateway subscription products to automated publishing workflows and end-to-end CRM integrations.

At KOC, I rescued a stalled project and turned a Figma design into a board-ready product under a tight deadline. I also integrated transactional email, WooCommerce syncing, role-based permissions, and an Editor.js-powered block-based publishing interface.

At Africred, I built integration code across interconnected repositories, brought Facebook Instant Forms into the CRM through webhooks and automated token refresh, and researched a WhatsApp messaging provider. At Grace Filled Academy, I designed a scalable school-management database and delivered report cards, teacher score uploads, and a parent portal.

I'm comfortable taking products from Figma to production in remote-first Agile teams, using Laravel, React, Vue.js, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Recent projects include Storyverse, an AI-assisted serialized-fiction platform, and CraftProfessor Story Engine, which uses Vertex AI and the Pinterest API to automate narrative-content publishing.
