Current mission · 2025 — Present
Commerce meets social
At Trenqit I lead full-stack development of an e-commerce marketplace with a built-in social feed — Django REST, PostgreSQL and Celery underneath, React and TypeScript on top.
Searchless · 2025 — 2026
Real-time voice, under one second
Streaming WebM demuxing in Rust that decodes Opus to PCM for live voice synthesis, Google Chirp 3 speech-to-text over gRPC, and LLM scoring moved into deterministic Rust.
Live product · Lead FDE, frontend
The production ecosystem for Africa
ArtMostSphere puts a shoot’s locations, gear, cast and planning in one place, starting in Nigeria. I lead its Next.js and TypeScript frontend as FDE — from marketplace search to the Production Planner.
Flagship project
Your music, offline, everywhere
Jomify is a cross-platform music player in Rust and Tauri, with Spotify and YouTube integration and multi-threaded playback on Rodio — the audio library I contribute to.
