I turn problems
into products.

Systems-oriented software builder with an engineering background. I find broken workflows, design the system to fix them, and ship the product. Currently building tools for Nigerian businesses.

Process

How I think about building

01

Observe

I notice where systems are broken, inefficient, or missing entirely.

02

Question

Why does this work this way? What if the constraint is actually the opportunity?

03

Design

Map the system. Define boundaries, data flows, and the simplest path to a working product.

04

Build

Ship something real. Not a pitch deck. Not a prototype. A product people can use.

05

Learn

Watch how people actually use it. Iterate. Rebuild what needs rebuilding.

About

The story behind the builder

I studied Petroleum Engineering — the kind of degree that teaches you to think in systems, constraints, and resource optimization. But I'd been building things long before university. As a kid, I made remote-control car prototypes because I couldn't afford to buy one. I created paper wallets, then figured out how to waterproof them.

The pattern has always been the same: see a problem, imagine a better system, try to build it. Software became the medium that let me do this at scale. I taught myself to code by building — a wedding website for a department dinner I had no business making, then progressively more complex products.

Today, I build products that solve real problems — mostly in Nigeria, where I live. Receipt generators for small businesses. Price management systems for retail stores. Healthcare facility APIs. AI-powered tools for students navigating international admissions. Each project starts the same way: I notice something broken, question why, and build.

I'm honest about my weaknesses too. I start more things than I finish. I get excited by new problems before the current one is fully solved. I'm working on becoming a better finisher — which is why this portfolio prioritizes shipped work over ideas.
