blk://01provenance

Bridging web development and on-chain settlement.

I started as a web developer and followed the money — literally — into smart contracts. Five years on, I ship full products end to end: the interface people touch, the backend that scales, and the contracts that hold the funds.

trust_is_earned

Trust is engineered, not promised

Escrow, multisig, provable fairness — I build systems where users don't have to take anyone's word for it, including mine.

ship_to_mainnet

Mainnet or it didn't happen

A demo is a hypothesis. I take products through audits, gas optimization, and real users moving real money.

built_for_the_next_billion

Built for the next billion

From Naira on-ramps to sub-cent rent settlement, I design for the markets where better financial rails matter most.

privacy_by_default

Privacy is a feature, not a crime

Zero-knowledge proofs let people transact privately and still satisfy compliance — both sides, by design.

blk://02stack

Everything between the click and the chain.

From the button a user presses to the contract that settles the transaction — one engineer, the whole path.

Shielded USDC wallet on Stellar. Deposits enter a shared pool; withdrawals prove ownership with zero-knowledge proofs, so balances and histories stay private — with selective-disclosure reports for compliance. Built with Noir for Stellar Hacks: Real-World ZK.
