I build apps, end to end

1. 2018

   I started by writing about music

   My first job was as a music writer at BixBeat Media. I wrote reviews and artist profiles, and did A&R work: scouting emerging artists and coordinating their features.

   I did all of this while studying Biochemistry at Ambrose Alli University.

   I founded Nextdayvibes

   I started my own music company and ran it until 2023. We kept scouting artists and built a platform that connected them with their audience, offering promotion, distribution and more.

   I built the company website, nextdayvibes.com.ng, myself. It is offline now, but it was the first thing I ever shipped, and the reason I went into tech.

   I went into tech, fully

   I started with UI/UX design and earned Google’s UX certificate. Next came web development, through Angela Yu’s full-stack bootcamp and Jonas Schmedtmann’s JavaScript and React courses on Udemy, and after that, React Native.

   Later in 2021 I joined the Zuri bootcamp, where I built UI animations and fast, cross-browser pages. That led to an internship at Zidio Development in 2022, where I built a job search platform in React with advanced filters, Redux and REST APIs.

   // Zidio, 2022: the filter that started it
   const jobs = useSelector(selectJobs);
   
   const visible = jobs.filter((job) =>
     matches(job, { role, location, remote, salary })
   );
   
   return <JobList jobs={visible} />;

   Building in a team at Seismic

   From January 2023 to August 2025, I was a frontend and mobile developer at Seismic Consulting Group, working in a team on government, health and AI products.

   We built systems for government ministries and agencies; MindViza, an AI mental health tool for Nigerians; and an AI assistant that writes SOAP notes while a doctor consults.

   Two commerce apps for Strimtech

   As a contract mobile developer at Strimtech, I built two apps: Sira Gift and Promoraa.

   Sira Gift is a gifting marketplace. Vendors curate gifts, and shoppers either buy one ready-made or build a custom gift box for someone they love.

   Promoraa gives vendors everything they need to sell online, much like Shopify. A vendor installs the app, sets up a storefront, picks and customises a template, and gets a shareable store link. Buyers open the link, shop and pay, and the money goes straight to the vendor.

   Across every sector at Azany

   At Azany, I am a mobile developer on a team building B2B and B2C products across several sectors.

   These include ShopAzany, a cross-border marketplace for vendors in different countries, and ShopAzany B2B, its wholesale arm; AgriecomB2B, for agricultural products; and Azany Autos, for buying and selling cars. On the fintech side, there are two cards: MIV (My Island Visa) and AVC (African Vision Card).

   

7. Now

   Co-founder of CogSolins

   I co-founded CogSolins, Cognitive Solutions Inc., where we build our own products. Our first, HostCam, has shipped: an event app and disposable camera in one, with guest uploads, shared folders, a photo book and a gift wallet. Now we are building VirtualProf, an AI study companion.

   I also build the Futsolins EduApp, an exam prep app for JAMB, WAEC and NECO. And with Ambidexters, I work on side projects: PurgX, a marketplace for selling things you no longer need, and TheHost, where people list their spaces, chat with guests and take bookings.

   Next, I am going back to school. In January 2027, I start a Master of Information Technology at Miva Open University, and I am learning cybersecurity on the side.
