Enterprises want to retain users and expand into new markets. I help them modernize through digital transformation. Startups don’t have the luxury of time, I help them launch fast while building for scale.

I built and deployed an account opening microservice that streamlined a 5-step, 3-day process into a single step completed in under 10 minutes, increasing daily customer onboarding by 40% (from 3,000 to 5,000 customers). The solution integrates with AML to enforce automatic and systemic compliance for every customer onboarded. This solution is actively in use by over 5 digital channels and in over 10 subsidiaries of Access Bank Plc.

From customer acquisition to cross-border payments, from settlement engines to microservice solution architecture — I’ve had remarkable fun designing and building these meaningful solutions.

I developed AccessPay for Access Bank, a corporate payment system used by multi-million-dollar African corporations, processing over ₦1B (~USD 655K) annually. At First Bank of Nigeria, I integrated PAPSS — a cross-border payment system handling over $100K in annual remittances across Africa — into the LIT mobile banking app and built the settlement engine to enable immediate transaction settlement.

Got a problem worth solving?

I find fun in solving problems — the kind that immerse me so deeply I lose track of time. That’s how I’ve built scalable banking platforms, cross-border payment systems, and enterprise-grade solutions used by millions.
