I’m looking for a role where I can take real ownership of product and engineering work, not just complete tickets. I enjoy building systems end-to-end, making architecture decisions, working close to product/users, and shipping reliable software in fast-moving environments.

I lead teams that ship systems where reliability matters: VR medical simulations, digital health platforms, credit intelligence products, and banking
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I'm a Tech Lead and product founder with 9+ years of experience building systems where failure is not an option: from financial platforms for financial institutions to AI and VR solutions that are changing how health professionals are trained, and how healthcare is delivered.
As CTO at Cadnetwork Limited, I've shipped 11+ fintech products for different enterprise clients, including 2 commercial banks, 5 MFBs, and other financial institutions, leading teams of 25+ engineers across 3 time zones, driving products from concept to deployment.
As Founder of OJ Technologies, I built Nigeria's first AI Medical Robot Tutor (MEDRA), a VR medical simulation training platform deployed across multiple medical universities in Africa and Europe, and a VR rehabilitation solution in physiotherapy clinics,... securing $50K+ in grant funding and pitch competitions.
Awarded for exceptional leadership and innovation in medical technology by my alma mater (NAU), and recognized among the Top 10 Global Health Innovations at the Global Summit, Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2024.
I don't just write code. I scope, hire, build, ship, and support products end-to-end under real-world pressure.
