    ComplyDesk – Nigerian Regulatory Compliance Platform
    FinTech2025 - 2026

    ComplyDesk – Nigerian Regulatory Compliance Platform

    As CTO, architected ComplyDesk — a technology-enabled compliance platform that simplifies tax filing and regulatory compliance for businesses operating in Nigeria and the diaspora. Designed the full-stack system to automate obligations across key regulatory bodies including the CAC, FIRS, CBN, and NDPA. Built intelligent workflows that guide SMEs through tax, labor, data protection, and sector-specific licensing requirements, eliminating manual tracking and reducing compliance risk. Engineered integrations with government-facing systems and designed the platform to serve both domestic businesses and diaspora-owned entities navigating Nigerian regulatory frameworks remotely.

    Integrade – K-12 Analytics Platform

    Designed and architected Integrade from the ground up — a cloud-native K-12 educational analytics platform targeting 10,000+ educators and 2M+ learners. Built a multi-tenant data pipeline that integrates with major Student Information Systems (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward) and LMS platforms, enabling real-time dashboards across district, school, and classroom roles. Engineered an AI-powered predictive model that identifies at-risk students with 92–95% accuracy, weeks ahead of traditional methods. Implemented FERPA-compliant architecture with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and automated IEP progress tracking.

    Custodia – Facility Operations Platform

    Custodia – Facility Operations Platform

    As founding architect, designed and engineered Custodia — a two-product facility-management platform pairing a web command center (Custodia OS) for operations managers with an offline-first mobile app (Custodia Field) for field technicians. Architected an event-driven system around a single closed operational loop: field activity decrements live inventory, breaches of par-level thresholds auto-generate reorder suggestions, and approvals flow directly into procurement — eliminating the disconnected spreadsheets, group chats, and paper checklists the industry runs on. Engineered the mobile client to be fully functional with zero connectivity, queuing photo-verified work, geofenced check-ins, and inventory deltas locally and reconciling through a conflict-resolving sync layer on reconnect. Implemented multi-tenant isolation via PostgreSQL row-level security, role-based access control, and SLA reporting that gives operators verifiable proof of work across sites.

    Dot – Healthcare Staffing & Shift-Fulfillment Platform
    HealthTech2026

    Dot – Healthcare Staffing & Shift-Fulfillment Platform

    Architected and delivered Dot end-to-end — a mobile-first healthcare staffing platform that connects verified nursing professionals (CNAs, LPNs, RNs) with open shifts across hospitals, correctional facilities, schools, and nursing homes. Replaced a manual, spreadsheet-and-phone scheduling process with a real-time, self-service marketplace where credentialed professionals browse, filter, and claim shifts in under three taps. Engineered a concurrency-safe claim engine that guarantees single-assignment integrity under load — eliminating double-booking — paired with an event-driven push-notification pipeline that surfaces new shifts, with rate and sign-on bonus, the moment they post. Built an admin and credentialing portal that gates the marketplace behind license verification, ensuring every placed professional is vetted before facilities trust the roster. Shipped as a cross-platform mobile app (iOS + Android) backed by an Angular web portal and a Spring Boot service layer, with MFA, role-based access controls, and encrypted document storage for sensitive credential data. Cut average time-to-fill from days to minutes, reduced manual coordination effort by an estimated 80%, and onboarded the agency's first cohort of 70+ verified professionals at launch.

    Autonomous Commerce Agent
    Commerce / AI2026

    Autonomous Commerce Agent

    Designed and engineered an autonomous commerce agent that handles end-to-end B2C and B2B transactions for MSMEs. Architected a multi-stage buyer journey: Discovery via voice or text query with real-time inventory sync; AI-driven negotiation that preserves floor-price integrity through dual guardrails (LLM within merchant-set bounds + independent Python validation); order confirmation with dynamic quantity/variation selection and cross-border/cross-currency currency conversion; secure checkout payment links; human-handoff escape hatches for complex queries; and post-sale support for delivery coordination. Built with Python + FastAPI on enterprise grade cloud infrastructure, utilizing deep learning and AI models for natural language understanding, Speech-to-Text for voice input, and a passwordless merchant admin portal with OTP-over-SMS and WhatsApp. Validated with many hours of simulated transaction traffic and deployed as a serverless social media (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc) chatbot serving merchants.
