I build backend systems that hold up under real financial load — queue-driven pipelines, payout engines, and auth infrastructure designed to fail safely at 3am, because eventually they will.
Currently building Itsafebox, a group savings (ajo/esusu) fintech platform, and RouteOne, a scheduled mobility platform for Lagos.

Tools

Financial Automation System
Queue-driven fintech backend — automated payouts, retryable transfer pipelines, a rule-based penalty/defaulter engine, and dead-letter handling for failed jobs. Every operation is idempotent and recoverable. |
WolfAuth
Drop-in authentication infrastructure with a modular SDK, Redis-backed sessions, role/permission system, and refresh token rotation with revocation. |
|
Code Monkey
AI-powered backend auditing CLI/SDK. Uses AST analysis to scan routes and middleware for missing auth, rate limiting, and validation, then gives DAU-aware fix recommendations. |
Vidi
Movie discovery app with a dark-first design system, debounced search, and TMDb-powered browsing for trailers, cast, and metadata. |
| Domain | Focus |
