About

I build the software a business runs on, and the automations that give its team their hours back.

hi, I'm Henry

I’m a full-stack engineer in Lagos. I build the parts of a product people rely on every day (sign-in, permissions, payments, inventory) and AI automations that take repetitive work off a team: finding and qualifying leads, turning an idea into a researched article, pulling data out of invoices, writing the weekly report. Right now that’s a poultry platform used by 30+ farms, a study app students open daily, and a bill-splitting app on both app stores.

  • Backend & APIs
  • Auth & RBAC
  • AI automation
  • Ledgers & billing

philosophy

My preference is boring in the useful sense: settle who can access what, how data behaves under pressure, and what happens when something fails, before adding more surface area.
