Senior Backend Engineer at OnAfriq building wallet, ledger, settlement and cross-border payment infrastructure.

Message

At OnAfriq, I contribute to enterprise financial infrastructure for digital wallets, multi-currency ledgers and cross-border transactions. I was the primary author of prefunding and settlement services and implemented balance and transaction gRPC APIs.

I built a reconciliation service for the multi-currency platform and contributed to transaction flows and production reliability. For Baxi, I built end-of-day processing to reconcile accounts across a platform handling millions of records.

At Kyzzen, I built and expanded backend services for a Solana marketplace, including authentication, wallets and portfolio analytics. I contributed to migrating more than eight microservices from Python to Go and independently migrated a substantial portion of the platform’s services from GCP to AWS.

At KingCards, I owned the backend as the sole backend engineer during a major stage of product growth, integrating payment and crypto providers and building bills-payment functionality. I also built the backend for Chuuse Arts Limited’s talent-acquisition platform from scratch, including its talent-pipeline workflow.
