I build scalable systems end-to-end backend, frontend, deployment, and the data that drives decisions. Passionate about fintech, edtech, and AI-powered products.
About Me
Building impactful software.
I'm a Software Engineer at Semicolon Africa based in Lagos, Nigeria, where I lead the LearnQuest AI capstone team. I work across the full stack — from backend services and frontend interfaces to deployment pipelines and the data layer that informs product decisions.
I've led a few of my team members building EstateLink, a real-estate microservices platform, and I'm currently building an AI-powered learning platform, a real-time fintech transaction monitor, and a voice-first banking app for Nigerian users.
I'm passionate about building scalable, production-ready systems that look simple on the outside but are powerful under the hood.

My Work
Featured Projects.
A selection of the systems I've designed, built, and deployed.
Team Lead
EstateLink
Real-estate microservices platform for listing, buying, and managing properties with agent assignment, offers, inspections, and real-time notifications. Led a few of my team members.
Deployed
FeeBridge
School fee management system with payment processing, event-driven architecture (Kafka), Spring Security + JWT auth, and email notifications. Deployed on Render.
Hackathon
MicroSave
B2B2C micro-saving plug-in for banks (built for ALAT/Wema Bank) that automatically rounds down transactions and saves spare change, with WebSocket real-time updates and AI savings nudges.
AI Agent
DevSentinel
Autonomous AI Incident Commander that listens for failing CI builds, reproduces bugs in an isolated sandbox, diagnoses root causes, applies fixes, and produces a transparent agent trace — part of Vetica.
Agentic
Vetica
Multi-agent candidate vetting & incident repair platform. Hire accuracy from 40% → 100% with evidence-backed, traceable verdicts. Built for the micro1 Agentic Workflows Hackathon.
Full-Stack
SkillBridgeAI
Training-to-employment pipeline (powered by Wema Bank) with multi-role system (Student/Admin/Employer), AI career advisor, GitHub portfolio coach, skill assessment, and README generator.
Frontier
VoicePay / ALAT Voice
Voice-first banking app for Nigerian users with support for native Nigerian languages (Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Pidgin). Flutter + FastAPI backend with NLU intent parsing and voice TTS/STT.
