Check out my latest work
I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
Routto: Real-Time Ride-Hailing Platform
Case study. Female-only ride-hailing platform built end to end: React Native rider and driver apps, a NestJS microservice-style backend, and a React admin dashboard. Ride matching and GPS tracking run over Socket.IO with geofence-scoped broadcasts instead of polling, and a two-stage verification pipeline routes AI-scored identity checks to manual review.
Crea Cubed: Multi-Tenant Identity Provider
Case study. Frontend for an Identity Provider MVP with passwordless-first auth (magic links, passkeys, MFA). A tenant boundary component resolves the tenant once at the route level, so every screen and audit log entry is tenant-scoped without repeated guard clauses.
Web3 Broadcast: Backend API
Modular NestJS REST API for a Web3 news, jobs, airdrops, and events platform. JWT auth with a Redis-backed token blacklist, RBAC, Socket.IO for real-time messaging, BullMQ job queues for notifications, and pre-signed uploads to S3/R2 so files never pass through the API server.

Deen Aleem General Merchant Nigeria Limited

Poaceae Grass Identifier
Flutter app that identifies grass species in the Poaceae family from a photo, using an on-device TensorFlow Lite model so it works in the field without a connection.
Uptick Talent Admin Dashboard
Admin dashboard for Uptick Talent Africa, with data visualizations for tracking cohort progress and engagement.
I like building things
I've taken part in 5+ hackathons, from university events to global online competitions. Teams and solo builders come together to ship incredible things in weeks or months, and I keep coming back for the pace and the people.
