I build websites, apps and AI tools, mostly for Nigerian businesses. By day I work at a bank in Kano.

Mission 01 / 07
Objective
An online marketplace for Nigeria where anyone can buy and verified sellers can sell, from phones to cooked meals.
Briefing
Buying online in Nigeria often means paying a stranger and hoping. One Ocean holds the money safely until the buyer confirms delivery.
Objectives cleared6/9
Objective
An AI tool that checks import documents for mistakes before they reach the bank. Take photos of your documents and it spots errors and drafts the form for you.
Briefing
I handle Form M (the paperwork Nigerian importers file with their bank) in my day job. I see how small document mistakes cause delays.
Objective
A practice trading bot that tests whether betting-market prices react late to crypto price moves. It uses pretend money only.
Briefing
If one price moves and another follows a moment later, there may be a gap to catch. The bot checks that safely before any real money is involved.
Objectives cleared4/5
Objective
A planned trading experiment that combines blockchain data with chart analysis, with strict safety limits.
Briefing
I want to learn whether blockchain activity really helps predict prices, and to build trading tools with discipline.
Objectives cleared0/4
Objective
A hackathon project using AI and PayPal to help small African businesses get paid with less paperwork.
Briefing
Small business owners spend too much time chasing and recording payments.
Objective
A full website for a restaurant in Kano and Abuja, with table booking, online payment and a menu you can browse.
Briefing
I built it before pitching, so the restaurant could see the finished result.
Objectives cleared3/3
Objective
A website for a Nigerian food shop. Customers fill a cart and send their order on WhatsApp, and a chat assistant answers questions.
Briefing
The shop already sells on WhatsApp, so the website builds on that.

I don't switch between these roles. I combine them. A marketplace needs payment rules a banker would recognise. A trading bot needs the discipline of a lab. An AI tool needs someone who knows the paperwork it's replacing.

Interfaces people can actually use.
Equipment
How I use it
My main craft. I design and build the screens myself, from layout and states to the small details, and I treat a production build as the real test.
