What I'm looking for

Remote contract or full-time work writing grant proposals, business plans and pitch decks, or building websites and apps. I like clear deadlines, teams that care about the result, and work I can measure: funding won, sites shipped.

Since 2020 I have written more than 1,000 grant applications, proposals, business plans and pitch decks, most of them white-label for US grant agencies. Clients have raised over $500,000 with documents I wrote, and I helped Sabidub secure ₦5 million in funding. I work to each funder’s rules and deadlines and can deliver up to 20 proposals a day.

I am also a builder. As co-founder and COO of Pathforge, a software studio in Nigeria, I design and build websites and apps, including Trackr, a bookkeeping app for small businesses, Wick, an automated trading app, and Riva, a satellite flood-risk check for banks and insurers. I studied computer science at the Federal University Wukari and speak English and Hausa.

Open to remote work in grant and proposal writing, business plans, web development and AI training. Samples: amatsaka.vercel.app
