I build products where engineering meets the interface.

A senior frontend and mobile engineer in Lagos. I care about the unglamorous parts — states, edge cases, release discipline — because that’s where people decide whether to trust a product.

How I work

[ four verbs, in order ]
Red Clay — four ways into the current harvest[01] Red Clay

Understand

Find what the product has to say before writing a component. For Red Clay: origin before the catalogue.

Lumina invoice and payment cards[02] Lumina

Architect

Separate the marketing site, product app and API so each can move without breaking the others.

Build

Ship financial flows in React Native where every action shows its state on a small screen.
