Software that works
beyond the prototype.
I build production web and mobile products end to end: product interface, backend systems, AI features, and the details that make them useful.

What I do
Full-stack engineering
for products that need
to ship.
I work across the product stack, from shaping an interface to building the systems behind it. These are the areas recruiters can expect me to contribute from day one.
Backend & data systems
Application logic, data models, authentication, APIs, and reliable product workflows from browser to database.
Node.js · Supabase · PostgreSQL · REST APIs · Serverless
AI-enabled products
Practical AI features and AI-assisted engineering workflows for search, moderation, learning, testing, and iteration.
LLM APIs · AI-assisted development · Search ranking · Content moderation
Product delivery
From an early product decision through deployment, iteration, and the operating details of a live application.
GitHub · Vercel · CI/CD · PWAs · React Native · Capacitor
The short version
I think in systems,
then make them real.
My work sits between engineering and product: clear interfaces, durable infrastructure, and a bias toward shipping what people can actually use.
Currently leading engineering for UniMarket while completing a Computer Science degree at Igbinedion University.
Selected work / 2024—now
What I have
actually built.
Three production-minded systems, explained without the decoration.

Problem→System→Outcome
Click a project to examine the buildA live marketplace for Nigerian university communities.
- The problem
- Campus buying and selling needs more trust than a group chat can provide.
- The system
- A multi-university marketplace with verified sellers, escrow-protected handoffs, intelligent listing discovery, and moderation safeguards.
- Signal
- National Enterprise Challenge 2025 finalist; South-South Regional Top 3.

How I build
Useful before
impressive.
- 01
Find the real constraint
Start with the user, the operating context, and the risk worth solving.
- 02
Design the whole system
Interface, data, states, operations, and the handoff all belong in the solution.
- 03
Ship toward reality
Use AI-assisted development where it sharpens the work: research, implementation, testing, review, and iteration.
Engineering environment
AI is part of the
workbench.
Not a substitute for judgment. A practical layer in the workflow that helps me investigate, prototype, test, and improve with more range.

UniMarket
Founder & Lead Engineer
Product strategy, platform engineering, and a safer campus commerce system.
Achievements
Evidence of
momentum.
Recognition and adoption are signals, not a substitute for the work. They do show that the work has met a real audience.
UniMarket advanced to the national grand finale with its escrow-protected marketplace model.
Represented Igbinedion University in the National Enterprise Challenge.
Product adoption without paid marketing spend.
First place in three Igbinedion University internal hackathons; also placed third at Wellspring University.
/now
Building outward
from UniMarket.
Scaling a safer way for students to trade across Nigerian campuses, while exploring intelligent systems that make complicated work feel straightforward.
