Dec 2025 – Present · Founder & Lead Engineer · Storich

• Founded and scaled Storich, a full-stack grocery delivery platform targeting the Nigerian market, from concept to production, serving 50+ customers and processing 300+ orders across online and offline channels within the first months of launch
• Built an AI-powered shopping assistant using Claude (Anthropic) tool-use API, fine-tuned on Storich product catalogue, pricing data, and business rules, with a negotiation engine, dynamic discount offer system, and real-time cart integration, enabling conversational commerce and increasing average session engagement
• Led and managed a team of 4 across engineering and operations, coordinating product decisions, delivery workflows, and sprint execution
• Architected a production-grade NestJS backend (PostgreSQL, Redis, TypeORM) with modular domain boundaries covering auth, products, cart, orders, payments, group-buy, admin, and notifications, designed for horizontal scale with Redis-backed caching
• Integrated Paystack payment gateway end-to-end: webhook-driven order confirmation, idempotent payment verification, and a custom 4-digit OTP offline delivery verification flow, OTP delivered via email post-payment, confirmed by field staff at doorstep, eliminating delivery fraud
• Designed a delivery zone coverage engine using reverse geocoding (OpenStreetMap Nominatim) to match customer GPS coordinates to delivery zones with zone-specific fees and ETAs, supporting structured expansion across Benin City
• Built a full-featured admin dashboard (Next.js 15) with real-time order management, OTP delivery confirmation, revenue analytics, low-stock alerts, and role-based access control (super admin / delivery admin), enabling the operations team to manage all fulfillment without engineering involvement
• Deployed the full platform on Railway (backend, auto-scaling containers) and Vercel (customer PWA and admin dashboard), with Upstash Redis, automated CI/CD via GitHub Actions, custom domain configuration, and zero-downtime deployments
• Implemented layered security: JWT bearer auth, bcrypt password hashing (12 rounds), Google OAuth via Supabase, httpOnly cookie-based admin sessions, Helmet, CORS, and global rate limiting

• Developed unit and simulation tests for Shentu chain modules (Node, API, CLI), contributing directly to chain security and stability
• Performed QA across chain modules, identifying and reporting bugs to improve protocol reliability

SourceHub · sourcenetwork/sourcehub

• Fixed a critical chain-halt vulnerability where a governance proposal with combined pool fees exceeding 100% produced a negative burn amount, panicking BeginBlocker and permanently halting every validator. Resolved by strengthening governance parameter validation to reject proposals with invalid fee configurations before they are applied to the chain.

DefiLlama · 200+ merged contributions

• Authored fees, revenue, and volume adapters for dimension-adapters, decoding raw on-chain events into standardized daily metrics covering Launchpads, dexs, rwa, lending, perps, chain fees, and so on
