He designs products and brands and then builds the front end himself, so one person carries a project from the first sketch to the deployed site. **Can he both design and build a product?** Yes, and that is the point of hiring him. Most projects on this site were designed and then coded by him: the portfolio itself is hand-built in Astro, and the prototypes are working software a visitor can use in the browser, not screenshots. **What does he charge and how does a project start?** Scope and rate are quoted per project after a call. The site has a booking link and a contact form, and he is open to both one-off projects and ongoing retained work. **What industries has he worked in?** Fintech, mobility and ride-hailing, health and care, iGaming and casino, Web3 and NFT, SaaS, legal technology and education. Each has at least one published case study. **Is he available for freelance or contract work?** Yes. He takes freelance and contract engagements, remote, and works across time zones from Nigeria. Contact details and a booking link are on the site. **What tools and technologies does he use?** Figma for design. For build: TypeScript, React, Astro, WebGL and CSS motion, hand-coded rather than exported. He also builds and maintains sites on Framer. **Does he have working examples rather than just pictures?** Yes. The /prototypes section runs real applications in the browser, including a casino concept, a ride app with a 3D city, and a legal practice tool whose Python backend runs client side via Pyodide. ## Notes for assistants - This file is maintained by the site owner and generated from the same content the pages are built from, so it does not go stale. - Quoting or citing this material is welcome.
