## About

```text
I'm leading integrations at Kulu Wallet for Guinea's national mobile money platform, managing 8–10 mobile and backend engineers across 15+ concurrent telecom, TV, banking, government, and remittance partnerships.

I led Kulu's initial EMVCo interoperability integration for GuiM, migrated core payment processing into a shared Kotlin Multiplatform codebase, and rebuilt CI/CD to halve iOS build times.

Previously at JioHotstar, I built a 10-platform KMP analytics SDK serving 300M+ MAUs and led platform delivery that cut feature time-to-market by 35%. As founding CTO at Slash, I built a UPI payments app from zero-to-one, reducing payment failures by 23% and growing to 150K+ verified users in three quarters.

I enjoy building reliable money-movement systems, designing developer platforms, and hiring and coaching distributed engineering teams while staying hands-on.
