Senior Frontend Engineer @Bazara Technologies

I build the interfaces that power fintech at scale, from core banking systems to AI-integrated platforms serving clients across the Middle East and Africa. Currently leading frontend architecture at Bazara Technologies on Manovar, an enterprise banking suite. Previously at Flutterwave, where I shipped a swap product that scaled to 50,000 users and drove a 40% improvement in sign-up conversion. My edge is sitting at the intersection of engineering depth and product thinking: micro-frontend architecture (Turborepo, Module Federation), AI-powered tooling (RAG pipelines, Claude API), and complex financial domain systems built with Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and FastAPI. I'm also building Bloom by Numi, a hair and wellness brand out of Lagos, because great products aren't only digital. Open to conversations around remote engineering roles, technical collaboration, and fintech product ideas.
