At Afriplanora, I shipped the iOS and Android apps for a two-sided travel marketplace, with discovery, itineraries, bookings, and multi-currency checkout across five service types. I also built the vendor platform and admin dashboard as the sole mobile engineer, and the marketplace now has 120+ live listings and about 700 downloads.

At Proximity Communications, I built a multi-tenant proximity-marketing platform across React, React Native, Node/Express, and PostgreSQL. It launched with its first brand client after a live product demo, with two campaigns and over 100 users.

Across other projects, I’ve delivered mobile, web, and POS products, including a lottery platform spanning three codebases and a moving marketplace frontend with 114 pages. I’ve also worked on payments, production deployments, and test automation.
