What I'm looking for

A remote senior role on a small team where I own a product area, mobile, backend or both. I'm happiest in fintech and payments. Teams that ship often, review code properly and care about reliability. Also interested in dev tools and AI infrastructure.

I'm a senior engineer in Lagos with 8+ years building fintech and payments products. I work across the stack: mostly Node.js/NestJS and PostgreSQL on the backend, and Flutter on mobile.

At Reeddi I work on Pluck, a phone-financing platform that has sold over 100,000 phones. I built much of its backend: payment schedules, pay-as-you-go billing, payment flows for customers, agents and admins, remote device locking and defaulter workflows. I also built the mobile app and NestJS backend for LoyaOne, our rewards product, which has shipped 8+ releases at 99.95% uptime.

Before that I spent almost four years at Changera (Bitmama Group) on virtual dollar cards, FX wallets, KYC and PCI integration, and set up the CI/CD that cut builds from a day to under 30 minutes. At TempOwn I built and ran a Bitcoin wallet API on AWS Lambda.

On the side I'm building FlowTest, an open-source Flutter SDK for recording UI flows to make testing easier. Open to remote senior roles. I work EST hours.
