Founder / Production
GetPointa
Designed and built an all-in-one service commerce and storefront platform from scratch, covering a 68-screen surface across customer booking, service provider management, and admin flows. Engineered Paystack subaccount automated payouts with a tiered commission model (10% Free → 3% Studio) and an integer ledger system separating wallet balances from externally-settled transactions.
Enterprise SaaS (NDA)
ReportWise — School Management SaaS
Led frontend architecture and implementation for a multi-tenant school report-management SaaS (built under client NDA), coordinating with backend engineers and UI/UX designers across a distributed team. Created modular, reusable data views and interactive grading interfaces for multiple user roles (administrators, teachers, and parents).
Open Source / Dev Tool
Schema View — Drizzle ORM Visualizer
Built and shipped a developer tool that turns raw Drizzle ORM schema definitions into an interactive, navigable visual map of tables, foreign keys, and relations. Eliminates the cognitive friction of understanding complex relational schemas in full-stack codebases.
Startup / Production (NDA)
CampusMart — Campus E-Commerce Marketplace
Lagos-based student e-commerce startup (developed under company NDA) functioning as a hyperlocal Amazon/Jumia tailored specifically for Nigerian university campuses. Engineered scalable multi-vendor catalogs, dynamic cart checkout pipelines, and merchant management dashboards using Next.js, React Native, NestJS microservices hosted on Render, and Drizzle ORM paired with Neon PostgreSQL.
Production Enterprise SMS
Halal Impact Schools — Modern School Management System & Portal
A full-stack, enterprise-grade School Management System (SMS) and public institutional web portal built with Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Drizzle ORM, Neon PostgreSQL, and Dexie (IndexedDB). Streamlines school administration with multi-role access (Admins, Teachers, Students/Parents), offline-first continuous gradebook scoring, automated PDF report card compilation, and complete bursary/fee tracking.
Open-Source Prototype
Startups Pitch Platform
An open-source founder pitching prototype built to test real-time markdown rendering and Sanity CMS content synchronization with Next.js 14 server components. Explores fast content querying with GROQ, instant preview revalidation, and GitHub OAuth integration.
Cross-Platform Mobile Engineering
React Native and Expo applications shipped from Figma specs with fluid native gestures and clean component architecture.
React Native / Client App
Bina — Events & Vendor Booking
Shipped a cross-platform client mobile application built from Figma design specifications during my software engineering internship at MacroFocus. Connects event attendees with local service vendors, enabling direct event discovery, vendor bookings, and scheduling.
