01 - About

Precision meets
craft.

I'm Andrew - a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria, with a deep obsession for building interfaces that are fast, accessible, and beautifully engineered.

My career spans Nigeria's biggest financial institutions - Interswitch Group, Access Bank, and Africa Prudential - where I've shipped mission-critical products processing millions of daily transactions. I architect design systems from scratch, establish engineering culture, and mentor teams.

I'm genuinely AI-native: I hold certifications from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Oracle, have built production LLM pipelines with the Claude API, and use Cursor and Claude Code daily. I founded Steward, a React Native finance app with AI-generated reports powered by Claude.
