PiggyTech Global Limited (Fintech)

Lagos, Nigeria · March 2022 – Present

Engineering Lead, PiggyVest Business (Full Stack Developer)

PiggyTech is the company behind PiggyVest, PocketApp, and PiggyVest Business — three products I'm responsible for at the architecture level. The role spans hands-on system design and people leadership: I set technical direction for the platform and manage three engineering teams.

• Own platform-scale architecture across PiggyVest, PocketApp, and PiggyVest Business, keeping availability, performance, and reliability intact as transaction volume and user numbers grow quickly.
• Architected and scaled the distributed wallet platform that now supports 20M+ wallets — the system behind P2P transfers, bank transactions, interest accrual, and automated payouts.
• Designed a payment orchestration and routing layer that picks a payment provider dynamically, based on real-time success rates, available fund balances, and name-inquiry accuracy — this meaningfully cut failed transactions by routing around underperforming providers automatically.
• Built and mentored three engineering teams — technical leadership, performance management, and setting the engineering and system-design standards those teams build against.
• Own end-to-end system design for services that need to be secure, low-latency, and high-throughput at once, while keeping the technical roadmap aligned with what the business actually needs.
