I just really like building things — the kind of backend systems, on-chain infrastructure, and developer tooling that other software quietly depends on.
I'm a software engineer from Lagos 🇳🇬 who lives at the intersection of backend engineering and Web3 — scalable APIs, distributed services, smart contracts, and the unglamorous infrastructure that keeps them reliable.
A lot of my energy goes into open source: I maintain developer tooling across the Stellar, Arbitrum, and Zcash ecosystems, and I'm a top 12 contributor to Zingolib. I care about clean architecture, systems that don't fall over under load, and code the next person can actually read.
If it's low-level, hard, or makes a product genuinely better — I'm in.
