Software engineer in Lagos. Four years building across web, mobile and web3: on the founding team at CoinSafe, now building Zamir. Going deep on Rust, distributed systems and AI infrastructure.
I came to software through a long detour. My background is in the sciences, the kind of education that teaches you to follow evidence, question assumptions, and be honest when an experiment fails. It turns out programming rewards exactly the same habits. Read the spec before you pour the concrete.
My first serious programming was Java. Then React. Then, around the time L2s started actually shipping, Solidity. Four years of product work since: frontend and backend, a founding-team seat at CoinSafe building wallet onboarding on Lisk and Base, client sites taken from requirements to production, and now Zamir. Some of it I'm proud of. Some of it taught me what I'd never do again.
Current Stack
Two things take most of my time. The first is Zamir, which I'm building with a team of four. The second is going lower down the stack than the frontend, one milestone at a time, starting with Rust systems programming: a memory allocator, an operating-system kernel, and cryptographic protocols implemented from the papers. It's teaching me to think in lifetimes and memory, and that the abstractions I'd been trusting were never as solid as I assumed.
The direction is distributed systems and AI infrastructure: the machinery that keeps products reliable once real people depend on them.
I'm open to roles, and I'm also building my own things. Zamir turns scripture into songs people replay, and running it end to end teaches me the half of the craft that pure engineering doesn't: distribution, retention, unit costs, and knowing what's worth building at all.
I write essays as I go, not because I have answers, but because writing forces me to stop pretending I understand things I don't. If you've read one of my pieces and it helped, that's the loop closing for me.
That builder's itch reaches past software too. Agriculture and food systems, waste management, and recycling infrastructure: the same first-principles thinking I apply to systems design shows up in how I think about resource loops in the physical world. The incentive structures are not that different, and I expect some of what I build next to live there.
Off-screen: I play guitar badly, chess decently, and study Mandarin daily. I live in Lagos. I'm a Christian, which informs how I think about work: patience, restraint, and the conviction that the small invisible parts matter as much as the visible ones.

That's the short version. The long version is in the work.
