Capabilities

What I can do for your team

Fifteen years across code, data and delivery. These are the jobs I get brought in for.

  • Connect data across institutions

    I design platforms that let separate agencies share records and trust them. That covers integration contracts, validation pipelines, record matching with confidence scoring, and governance rules that hold up under audit.

    • Data pipelines
    • API contracts
    • Data governance
    • Power BI

    World Bank Group · Core Integrated Services

  • Architect and build full-stack platforms

    I work backend-first, but I ship the whole product: data model, API, front end and payment integrations. I still write code most days.

    • PHP · Laravel · Symfony
    • Python
    • TypeScript
    • Vue · React
    • PostgreSQL · MySQL · MSSQL

  • Run systems reliably and securely

    I've kept platforms running in regulated finance for years at a stretch. I handle the cloud setup, deployment pipelines, monitoring, release governance and OWASP-aligned security reviews.

    • AWS
    • Docker
    • CI/CD
    • Linux · Nginx
    • SLOs

    Bank of Industry · 4 client security reviews

  • Lead engineers, advise executives

    I run design reviews, set coding and integration standards, and mentor engineers at every level. I also turn technical trade-offs into plain language for ministers, boards and programme leads. Editing a magazine early in my career made me strict about clarity.

    • Design reviews
    • Mentoring
    • Agile delivery
    • Stakeholder advisory

    Team of 10 engineers · multi-agency programmes

  • Deliver change people adopt

    A system counts as delivered when people use it. I plan onboarding, performance and feedback alongside the features. On one platform, usage went from under 40% to over 85% in six months.

    • Change management
    • Vendor management
    • Programme governance

  • Build with AI, carefully

    Claude Code and GitHub Copilot are part of my daily workflow. I help teams adopt them with review and security guardrails, so they speed up delivery without adding risk.

Selected work

Some of what I've built and led. Happy to go deeper in conversation.

  • 2025 to now

    Social protection data platform

    An interoperable information system that links national registries for a large social protection programme. I set the technical direction: pipelines, API contracts, automated validation and data governance.

    World Bank Group
  • 2024–2025

    Association management SaaS, rebuilt

    A clean-room rebuild of a legacy Symfony platform, with a new architecture, data model and integration layer, designed to run as multi-tenant SaaS.

    webCreative Digital
  • 2021–2024

    Financial CRM and grant management

    A platform for an international development finance initiative. Laravel and Vue on AWS, with payment gateways, enterprise integrations, and automated reporting that replaced manual work.

    Bank of Industry
  • 2016–2021

    Membership and identity platform

    Membership, payments and government registry lookups for a national professional institute. It automated most of the admin team's processing.

    Core Integrated Services
  • 2018 · 2020

    Award-winning government portals

    Two agency portals that each won Best Government Agency Website. I was the technical authority on architecture, security and data integrity.

Open source

WordPress, since 2011

I've contributed to WordPress for most of my career: plugins, the support forums, and the Abuja community. Open source taught me to write code that strangers have to maintain, which is most code.

Audit taught me that a number is only as good as the trail behind it. Editing a magazine taught me to cut until the reader can follow. I still use both every week.
