Spirit Philip
@spiritphilip
Product manager and Web3 developer building end-to-end blockchain products and creative user experiences.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an innovative product leader and full-stack blockchain developer with 9+ years driving impact across Web3, AI, digital product design, and creative technology. I founded Spent Digital Labs and Spent Academy to build scalable blockchain products while training and mentoring over 150 aspiring tech talents.
I turn abstract ideas into fully functional platforms—from dApps, smart contracts, and token systems to UI/UX architecture, branding, and gamified user experiences. I’m comfortable leading multidisciplinary teams and delivering end-to-end solutions across startups, incubators, and global tech ecosystems.
As CTO & Senior Dev Team Lead at Spent Digital Labs, I directed development of 15+ Web3 and digital products, owning product strategy, UI/UX delivery, and full-stack engineering for client work. I also led branding efforts and cloud deployment for AI and blockchain-based apps.
I coach at Spent Academy and organized TechXcellence, and I’ve also operated as a product manager across Web3 presales and rebrands, including Nanora’s presale smart contract infrastructure and TagPay’s UI overhaul. I’m energized by building community-centered products and shipping real technology people can use.
