Sole engineer (frontend + backend) · Live, production
- Engineered a full-featured fintech platform — bank transfers, wallet-to-wallet transfers, VTU across 4 channels (airtime, data, electricity, cable TV), gift card buying/selling, and cash withdrawals — via a microservices Node.js/Express backend with Docker and CI/CD, enabling independent service scaling and faster releases.
- Achieved zero reported auth breaches by implementing JWT with token refresh, enforced session expiry, and a biometric/PIN-gated confirmation flow on every transaction.
- Eliminated manual verification overhead by integrating N-Verify KYC (NIN, Passport, PVC) with fuzzy name matching across onboarding.
- Shipped the full React Native frontend on Expo/EAS — wallet dashboard, transaction history, gift card marketplace, profile management — with an OTA update pipeline for rapid iteration without app-store review delays.
