Software engineer building event-driven payment infrastructure for cross-border payouts and settlement.

Message

I lead development of foreign currency payout infrastructure at Fincra Technologies Nigeria, covering KYB/KYC/AML compliance, sender/beneficiary management, resilient state orchestration, and real-time operational dashboards using New Relic.

I’ve refactored virtual account processing from cron-based jobs to queue-driven, workflow-orchestrated pipelines with automatic retries and end-to-end observability, plus I’ve shipped features like post-funded conversion and cashback promotions to improve merchant conversion and transaction activity.

Before that, I built production features in the Windows 11 Shell at Microsoft—like Ink Anywhere and drag-and-drop Start menu improvements—and I served as an accessibility subject matter expert for compliance reviews.
