I build and scale technology businesses at the intersection of fintech, product, and engineering. Over the past 13+ years, I’ve worked across e-commerce, engineering consulting, payments, and financial technology. I’ve led engineering teams, built products, and worked closely with commercial and financial partners to turn business ideas into operating systems and products.

Most recently, I co-founded Klump, a Nigerian fintech, where I served as CEO and CTO. I helped raise approximately $1.2M and led technology, product development, infrastructure, hiring, and strategic partnerships. I understand the realities of building a venture-backed company: managing limited runway, making hard prioritisation decisions, navigating regulation, and balancing product ambition with commercial execution.

Before Klump, I was an Engineering Manager at Paystack and worked with engineering teams and startups through Andela. Those experiences shaped how I approach reliable financial infrastructure, product delivery, and technical leadership.

I’m particularly interested in opportunities where I can combine engineering leadership, product judgment, and business strategy to help fintechs and technology companies scale across Africa.

My strongest contribution is bridging the gap between what a business wants to achieve, what its technology needs to deliver, and what its team can realistically execute.
