Taking on new projects from January 2027
Product engineering, from schema to screen.
I design, build and ship web products, data systems and AI-assisted tools for teams that need them to hold up.
Most of my work sits where product, engineering and business meet. I care about the data model as much as the button, and about whether the numbers on the dashboard are true.
I have shipped commerce platforms, fintech onboarding, content systems and analytics for teams in Nigeria and the UK. A background in business information systems means I ask what a feature is worth before I ask how to build it.
Selected work
All projects (6)- Folio BuilderA CMS that lets photographers, designers and studios publish a fast portfolio site without hiring a developer.
- StoreZedA commerce platform with a built-in wallet, so merchants can take payments, hold balances and pay out in one place.
- Revenue InsightsA reporting layer that replaced five weekly spreadsheets with one dashboard the leadership team trusts.
Where I am most useful
Product engineering
Taking an idea from a rough brief to a product people pay for, with the design, frontend and backend built as one thing.
- Discovery and scoping
- Design systems
- Web and mobile apps
Platforms and APIs
Backends that stay calm under load: payments, wallets, integrations and the boring parts that hold money.
- API design
- Payments and ledgers
- Third-party integrations
Data and BI
Turning scattered spreadsheets into one source of truth, then into dashboards people actually open.
- Data modelling
- Reporting pipelines
- Dashboards
AI-assisted delivery
Using AI where it earns its place, in the product and in how the team ships, with evals instead of vibes.
- LLM features
- Agents and automation
- Faster delivery
