About
Engineer. Designer. Quiet operator.
I've spent the last seven years shipping financial platforms (9jaPay), insurance platforms (Unyte Africa), AI tooling (Turing), and a few independent e-commerce builds. The work I'm proud of has a few things in common: a typed contract end-to-end, a small design system that holds up under change, performance that doesn't degrade as the codebase grows, and accessibility wired in from the first commit. Outside product teams, I partner with founders, photographers, designers, and consultants on bespoke portfolio sites that read like print and ship like static.
Values
The things I won't compromise on.
- /01
Craft is a default
Type, spacing, motion, and contrast are not afterthoughts — they are the product. I sweat the kerning so your users feel cared for.
- /02
Performance as a feature
Every site I ship targets Lighthouse 95+ across the board. Fast loads convert better, rank better, and respect your users.
- /03
Accessible by construction
WCAG AA is the floor, not the ceiling. Semantic HTML, focus states, contrast, and reduced-motion are baked into every component.
- /04
Own your platform
You should be able to leave me. Code lives in your repo, copy in MDX, design in your Figma. No proprietary platform, no lock-in.
