Building at the intersection of AI + Product

I Build Things

That Actually

Work.

15 years. Fintech, logistics, AI agents. I've shipped banking platforms to 15 countries, built AI systems from scratch, and architected 50+ microservices that handle real load. I don't prototype. I ship.

THE EVOLUTION

2011

Started With Android

Joined when the ecosystem was raw and fragmented. Wrote apps on devices with barely any RAM. Learned that solid fundamentals beat clever hacks — every single time.

Mobile Engineering
2018

Added iOS

Why stop at one platform? Expanded cross-platform without a team. One engineer, two ecosystems, zero excuses. Doubled the surface area, sharpened the instincts.

Cross-Platform
2019

Fintech Changed Everything

Built Zoto — Nigeria's #1 payments super-app. Then DBXP — live across 15+ countries. Real money moving through systems I built. Learned what engineering means when it has to work — no exceptions.

Fintech at Scale
2021

Built a Payment System. Alone.

Complete closed-loop NFC Tap & Pay prepaid system. Hardware integration, backend API, transaction engine, merchant dashboard — every layer, solo. When you're the only one who can fix it, you learn everything.

2021

Became a Product Engineer

Joined Raaho as the engineering lead. Stopped being handed specs — started writing them. Architected 50+ microservices from scratch, owned product decisions end-to-end, and built the kind of cross-functional culture where engineering and business are the same conversation.

Product + Engineering
2022

AI Unlocked New Languages

Used AI to learn Go, Python, Java — in production. Didn't study. Shipped. Discovered AI wasn't just a tool — it was a force multiplier for anyone willing to actually use it.

AI-Assisted Development
2023

Went Deep on Data

CleverTap, Zoho, analytics pipelines. Started making product decisions from real data — not assumptions. Retention curves, funnel drops, cohort analysis — the numbers started telling stories.

Data-Driven Product
2024

Built AI Agents

Built Chhotu Bot and Mira Bot on Telegram — automating GitHub, CleverTap, DigitalOcean. 90 minutes of daily work became 3 commands. The future arrived early — I just built it first.
