What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote-first role with an international startup or scaleup where I can own complex frontend problems and ship high-impact products.

At Lenkie, I’ve helped evolve a lending platform into a broader SME lending ecosystem supporting £180M+ in loan disbursements. I’ve shipped applications for customer lending, broker operations, and internal underwriting using Vue 3, Nuxt.js, TypeScript, and Pinia.

I also built AI-assisted underwriting and risk workflows, including scorecards, company research, and monitoring capabilities. One investigation contributed to preventing approximately £400K in potentially fraudulent lending.

At StickerIt, I built and scaled a multilingual, SEO-focused e-commerce platform with Gatsby, GraphQL, and DatoCMS, then contributed to its migration to Shopify. I introduced A/B testing with Statsig and Jest-based unit testing in CI workflows.

At BookingsAfrica, I engineered real-time video products using Vue.js and Twilio, along with booking and scheduling workflows with payments and automated confirmations. I also co-founded Clusta, an offline-first community management platform, and led frontend engineering for Instant Energy, where I improved transaction success rates by 20%.
