About

I once built a fintech platform that handled 3,500 users with 99.9% uptime. The infrastructure budget? $12.90/month. That's MirrorLog, a creator economy platform with P2P payments, digital wallets, and escrow-managed contests. I learned more about making things scale efficiently than any job could teach me. Now I'm a core team member at Korrency, building cross-border payment infrastructure for tens of thousands of users across 36+ countries. Sanctions screening, multi-currency transactions, KYC workflows, localization for EU markets—the unglamorous backend work that makes money move safely across borders. My stack: Laravel/PHP, Vue.js, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, MySQL My domain: Fintech, payments, compliance, SaaS 6+ years of building things that handle real transactions. Zero security breaches. Systems that actually work when it matters. Based in Nigeria (GMT+1). Available for remote contracts with US, UK, Canadian, and EU companies. Always happy to chat about interesting problems.
