About Me
I'm a Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience designing and building full-stack web applications, internal tools, and system integrations. I bring a strong mathematical foundation and a product-oriented mindset to everything I build.
I hold a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Abuja, which gives me a unique analytical edge when approaching complex engineering problems. I enjoy working across the entire stack — from crafting pixel-perfect frontends to architecting robust backend systems.

Work Experience
Software Engineer
Rex Insurance
- ▹Built a custom Appraisal System for Retail Sales Managers from scratch, replacing SeamlessHR's per-employee licensing with a dedicated, role-based workflow. Delivered dashboards for RSMs and TSMs, multi-stage approvals, and Kissflow integration, serving 18 users (13 RSMs, 5 TSMs) and eliminating ongoing per-seat licensing costs.
- ▹Designed and delivered a Loss Adjuster Platform for the claims department, integrating with Kissflow so claims officers can initiate tasks via API. Replaced an error-prone email-based assignment process with a structured dashboard for task management, field submissions (with attachments), and task closure, serving over 60 field users (loss adjusters, engineers, and surveyors).
- ▹Redesigned and rebuilt the company's corporate website (50+ pages, including Blogs, News, and Financial Reports) with a custom WordPress theme, modular CSS, and ACF-driven templates, covering 28 insurance products and giving the marketing team full self-service content control.
Freelance Software Developer
Self-Employed
- ▹Developed BrokerProcess, a full-stack broker operations platform (Laravel, React, MySQL) that automates Excel/CSV import and cleaning of policy schedules (premiums, dates, statuses, loss ratios), with a role-based approval workflow (Viewer / Ops Manager) designed to replace an email-based claims/renewal approval process prone to lost threads.
- ▹Designed and developed single-page applications (SPAs) and responsive websites for clients across various industries.
What I've built
Projects
Viciniti
A full-stack, location-based community marketplace that enables users within the same geographic area to buy and sell items, as well as offer and hire local services. The platform facilitates trust-based peer-to-peer commerce through verified profiles, secure payments, and real-time messaging. Revenue is generated through a 5% transaction fee on all completed payments, processed via Flutterwave.
Rex Insurance Website
A modern, responsive website for Rex Insurance, built with WordPress and Elementor. The site features a clean design, easy navigation, and integrates seamlessly with the company's branding and messaging.
Retail Appraisal System
The retail appraisal process relied on a manual system involving multiple levels of management, causing delays and making it difficult to track progress.
Insurance Broker Ops Dashboard
A comprehensive dashboard for insurance brokers to manage client information, policies, and claims.
