Founding Software Engineer at Chelotie (2025-03 – Present)
Building a stablecoin-based payment platform enabling creators and merchants to seamlessly receive crypto payments, bridging Web2 application logic with on-chain execution.
- Implemented an on-chain event processing pipeline, subscribing to smart contract events via Ethereum JSON-RPC, decoding ABI-encoded logs, and reconciling them with off-chain payment intents.
- Implemented gasless transaction flows using account abstraction, integrating paymaster sponsorship and bundler infrastructure to remove gas fee friction for end users.
- Implemented an event-driven architecture using NATS, enabling loosely coupled communication between services.
- Built asynchronous workflows across services by publishing and subscribing to domain events improving system scalability and extensibility.
- Implemented automated subscription renewal pipelines, triggering payment workflows for recurring billing and ensuring continuity of service for users.
- Architected and implemented wallet infrastructure by integrating embedded and smart wallets, enabling secure key management, transaction signing, and seamless user onboarding
Software Engineer at Broadbased Communications Ltd (2025-02 – 2025-03)
Designed and implemented a distributed, service-oriented architecture consisting of multiple independent services for ingestion, processing, delivery, and status tracking.
- Achieved high system availability and fault tolerance by decoupling services and leveraging asynchronous processing patterns.
- Built a data ingestion service integrating with Oracle database to continuously extract SMS records, transform them, and persist into a MongoDB-based outbox system with state tracking.
- Implemented idempotent message processing using database-level unique indexing strategies, eliminating duplicate SMS submissions and ensuring data consistency in a distributed system.
- Led end-to-end infrastructure setup and deployment, including provisioning and configuring Linux (CentOS) servers, firewall rules, and secure SSH-based deployment automation.
- Developed a high-performance SMS delivery worker maintaining persistent SMPP transmitter connections to multiple mobile network operators (MTN, Glo, Airtel), ensuring low-latency message submission and efficient throughput.
- Implemented end-to-end monitoring using Prometheus, establishing visibility into system metrics, performance, and availability.
- Configured alerting pipelines integrated with Slack and email, enabling real-time incident notifications and reducing mean time to detection (MTTD).
- Improved system reliability and uptime by enabling rapid identification and resolution of production issues through proactive monitoring and alerting systems.
- Led the end-to-end development of an internal observability and operations platform, improving system transparency across services.
- Designed and implemented a robust deduplication pipeline to ensure all incoming datasync events were stored while only unique events were processed for downstream systems.
- Engineered a two-stage data processing architecture using MongoDB to separate raw ingestion from validated processing.
- Optimized large-scale data processing by introducing a pre-aggregated reporting layer, reducing expensive real-time aggregation queries on high-volume datasets.
- Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, enabling automated testing and deployment workflows for faster, safer releases.
Software Engineer at Essential Software Company (2022-06 – 2025-01)
Developed core modules for an ERP platform tailored to SMEs, enabling management of orders, inventory, warehouses, pricing, customers, staff, and webstore operations.
- Implemented an automated storefront generation feature that provisioned a unique online store per merchant, enabling customers to browse price lists and place orders, expanding merchants' digital sales channels.
- Designed and implemented the order service, defining the full lifecycle from order creation to fulfillment, improving reliability and traceability of transactions.
- Built flexible payment gateway integrations, allowing merchants to configure providers via API keys and receive payments directly into their own wallets, reducing platform liability and increasing adoption.
- Implemented multi-outlet management functionality, enabling merchants to operate and track operations across multiple business locations from a unified system.
Software Engineer at Prop44 (2023-01 – 2023-12)
- Built a scalable backend in Go, replacing Firebase with a custom service to improve control over business logic and system performance.
- Integrated Stripe payment infrastructure for one-time payment processing, reducing payment friction.
- Managed end-to-end deployment on a VPS, establishing a reliable production environment and handling server configuration, releases, and uptime management.
- Designed and implemented the application database schema, optimizing data access patterns and ensuring efficient query performance.
