EXPERIENCE

• Consensys

  Developer Relations Engineer (Infura, Truffle), Technical Program Manager (MetaMask Developer Platform)

  Jan 2022 - Sept 2025

  In my role as Technical Program Manager, I led efforts to build the MetaMask Developer Platform, unifying four siloed products (MetaMask Snaps, the API/SDK suite, Infura, and the embedded wallet) into a single dashboard used by thousands of businesses. I coordinated across web, engineering, and product organizations to align fragmented roadmaps, reduce onboarding friction, and establish a unified go-to-market presence for developer tools.

  I also led a small team exploring proactive fraud prevention using the Delegation Toolkit. We developed an active monitoring system that automatically revoked malicious token approvals, and an LLM-driven transaction risk scoring engine, shifting the approach from reactive warnings to intelligent user protection.

  In my initial Developer Relations role, I laid the groundwork through developer content creation, hackathon coordination, and documentation architecture that supported thousands of developers integrating with Consensys products.

• Engine Systems

  Co-Founder & Product Lead

  Jan 2020 - Nov 2021

  I co-founded Engine Systems during COVID, at a time when companies were scrambling to adapt to remote work. Having worked remotely as engineers for years, my co-founder and I saw an opportunity to help businesses build the tools they needed. We grew from a two-person team to seven engineers and a product designer in under two years, and I led the product development effort across clients in the US and Nigeria.

  Our work spanned fintech and workforce management. For Stir Money, I oversaw the development of a dashboard that solved fragmented income visibility for creators by unifying earnings across platforms through integrations with 20+ fintech APIs. For Gigster, I led the build of a talent matching portal with integrated project management features that streamlined their hiring and delivery process. We also built tools for several local businesses in Nigeria.

  I ultimately left to explore crypto's potential to expand access to global financial systems in emerging economies .

• Generation Enterprise

  Snr Software Engineer

  March 2018 - Dec 2019

  I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Generation Enterprise, an NGO that built tools supporting Lagos State Government's efforts to help at-risk youth launch small businesses through training, local hubs, and incubation programs.

  I worked across two platforms. I redesigned a government youth portal serving millions of young people, improving performance and accessibility. I also migrated their CRM platform from a monolithic architecture to microservices on AWS, reducing infrastructure costs significantly.
