At DVT, I lead the App Platform team building and maintaining Old Mutual’s Kotlin/Spring MOM orchestration platform for Android and iOS. I led the development of microservices and orchestration APIs, and helped reduce release turnaround time by 90% through CI/CD pipeline improvements.

I’ve also led delivery of a greenfield SME core banking platform for Saudi Digital Bank, and worked on cloud infrastructure and reliability for The Walt Disney Company at Wizeline. Earlier, I built digital health platforms including MTIBA and the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme at CarePay International.
