Infrastructure that enables products to scale.

I’m an SRE on the Card Payment team at Moniepoint, one of Africa’s leading fintech unicorns. My work sits at the intersection of reliability engineering and product impact — from card BIN management and terminal configurations to the playbooks that keep payment rails alive under pressure.

Before Moniepoint, I worked at Indicina Technologies in credit analytics and technical operations & engineering, where my obsession with credit risk scoring began. That thread runs through my independent research in AI and directly into RiskSense.

Completed independent research in Advanced Artificial Intelligence, with published work comparing Mamdani and Sugeno fuzzy inference systems applied to credit scoring in emerging markets.
