Production fintech, built from the interface down.

Frontend Engineer at Payvantage, where I have worked since April 2022. I architected and launched Ethcore, the core banking platform for Ethica Microfinance Bank, and lead the frontend team that builds it.

My work spans web and mobile: Ethica Pass, a security token app I built on my own; an address verification SDK for KYC; features in the Ethica mobile app, used by 12,000+ people; and a role-based tax dashboard for FIRS. Outside Payvantage I build products for clients such as Super International Travels and Bitooqoh.

Eight production systems, cored

Each core is one system. Its bands are its makeup: what it runs on, whether it can be shown, how many technologies it took. Hover or focus a core to pull it from the tray.
