About Me

Turning ideas into scalable, impactful software

I'm a software engineer and technical leader passionate about leveraging technology for social impact. I've architected platforms tracking over ₦1.9 trillion in public projects, built AI-powered fact-checking systems serving 13,000+ users across West Africa, and co-founded a mobile banking platform advancing financial inclusion across Nigeria.

My work spans backend architecture with Django REST Framework, cross-platform mobile development with Flutter, containerized deployments with Docker, and cloud infrastructure. I've collaborated with global AI organizations on model evaluation, code intelligence, and safety alignment — and have published research at IEEE conferences.
