What I'm looking for

I'm looking for product design work where I can own complex user experiences, collaborate closely with engineers, and build clear, scalable systems for data-rich products in fintech, payments, or B2B software.

I'm a product designer with a software-engineering foundation — which means I design it and ship it.

I'm currently the sole product designer at a US-based B2B fintech platform, where I owned the end-to-end redesign: user research, payment and account-management flows, high-fidelity prototypes, and shipped interfaces that lifted retention by ~20%. I also built the design system from scratch — component libraries, tokens, auto layout — cutting design-to-development time by ~30%.

At DayneCore Technologies, where I'm co-founder and CTO, I've designed and shipped end-to-end: two e-commerce platforms including SteezyAdmin (a data-dense operations dashboard for sales, products, orders, and customers), a flight search and booking engine across 1,200+ airlines (CrosContri), and a WhatsApp Bot product. During my time at TechWings Global, I designed the Beat Fusion admin dashboard — a data-visualisation-heavy interface for power users managing financial and content data.

My AI-augmented workflow — Claude Code for design-to-code, Figma AI for component generation — compresses the gap between design intent and what actually ships. And because I write TypeScript, React, and work with Django/PostgreSQL backends, I can have a real conversation about feasibility before a single line of code is written.

Based in Lagos, Nigeria. Open to remote globally. UTC+1.
