What I'm looking for

I seek product roles where I can lead end-to-end product development, integrate AI solutions, and scale user-focused platforms in startup or growth-stage teams.

I am a product-focused engineer with experience building scalable web platforms for North American and African markets, bootstrapping InnHubs from concept to MVP and shipping full-stack solutions across EdTech and B2B commerce. I blend product strategy, system architecture, and hands-on engineering—expertise in React.js, Next.js, AI model integration (OpenAI/Gemini), and payment and onboarding systems—delivering measurable impact like reducing store setup time by 95% and increasing vendor engagement by 30%.

I have delivered frontend products for startup and contract engagements, achieving high performance and reliability (98/100 Lighthouse, 99.9% uptime), and led growth initiatives that scaled subscribers 6x. I’m committed to user-centric design, rapid prototyping, and bridging engineering with business strategy to launch effective, localized digital experiences.
