Ogascounty

E-commerce · Live

A faith-inspired clothing brand that ships worldwide. I built the whole store: products sync in from Printify, payments run through Stripe, and every paid order goes off to print on its own, so nobody has to push orders along.

Next.js, Stripe, Printify

Bold Petals

Marketplace · Live

A booking marketplace for beauty and wellness in Nigeria. Customers find verified stylists, makeup artists and nail techs near them, pick a free slot and pay to confirm. Vendors run their bookings, hours and products from their own dashboard.

Next.js, Firebase, Paystack

LettsTV

News & media · Live

A Nigerian news platform covering politics, business, tech and sport. I’ve been its only engineer since the first line of code, and I built its AI editorial pipeline: stories are prepared automatically, and an editor approves every one before it goes live.

Next.js, React, Node.js

Rooster

Mobile · Live on Google Play

An Android app for messaging and calls. It finds your friends without uploading your contacts: numbers are scrambled on your phone first, so the server never sees your address book.

Kotlin, Go

FREYA

AI assistant · Open source

My own AI assistant for the desktop. Ask her for a website and she writes it, checks every link and image, fixes what’s broken and opens it on your screen. She drives a real browser and real apps, and you can just talk to her. The pictures are sites she built on her own.

Go, Gemini, Claude
