At Almond Inc., I built the fintech product and technology foundation from scratch and scaled the platform to 7,000+ users and NGN 500M+ in transaction value. I work with the CEO and Board on technology strategy, architecture, and product priorities.

I oversee technology across the lending lifecycle, payments integrations, and AWS and GCP infrastructure. I also lead the engineering organization, which I grew to 12 engineers, and oversee reliability, security, and fraud controls.

Previously, at Atlas DAO & Reach Lang, I built React frontends and SQL-backed services for decentralized applications used by approximately 5,000 users, and developed smart contract integrations. At Potluck Labs, I shipped production features across the stack and implemented security improvements.
