I build and ship production software end to end, and I embed with teams to turn messy workflows into AI-assisted systems. Fintech, data and AI, from Lagos to Edinburgh.
I work best sitting next to the people who have the problem. At Venture Garden I led the planning, testing and launch of fintech platforms that disburse and receive more than 2 million international payments across Africa and Europe, and met 100% of our SLAs by staying close to the clients who ran them.
Today I am co-founder of Owl Express, which turns WhatsApp and Instagram chats into orders, payments and deliveries for African small businesses. I also build AI features and data services in Python at Parser, and earlier trained machine learning models that cut a football club’s analysis from two weeks to 20 minutes.
I design and build software end to end: C# and .NET services, React, Vue and Angular front ends, PostgreSQL, and the CI/CD that ships it. Over a decade I have delivered 150+ web APIs and 30+ web applications, and led architecture and delivery teams across fintech, data and AI, health and IoT.
Owl Express is my current build: a .NET 10 modular monolith with a Vue 3 front end, PostgreSQL with PostGIS, RabbitMQ and automated deploys to production and test environments. It is multi-tenant, with each business’s data isolated at the query level.
Co-founded and engineer a platform that turns WhatsApp and Instagram into an operating layer for African SMEs, converting unstructured chat into structured sales workflows.
One adaptable core engine serves fashion, food, retail, logistics and service businesses: in-chat inquiries, instant quotes, automated payment verification and courier dispatch. Orders from both channels land on a single dashboard.
Build and maintain backend services and APIs in C# and .NET Core, and responsive front ends in React and Angular.
Develop AI features and data-driven services in Python, and manage CI/CD pipelines, builds and deployments.
Software development and enterprise architecture.
Built and trained machine learning models that turn football statistics into analytical data for recruitment and coaching staff.
Removed manual processing and cut turnaround from two weeks to 20 minutes, with data cleansing, modelling and visualisation.
Analysed software usage metrics to drive upgrades and feature adoption, increasing ROI by 35%.
Owned prioritisation and delivery across the lifecycle of three payment platforms, which received 90% positive feedback.
Led the planning, testing and launch of fintech platforms for the disbursement and receipt of 2M+ international payments across Africa and Europe.
Created five business architecture models, reducing project risk by 30%, improved compliance architecture, and met 100% of SLAs in partnership with clients.
A customer messages a fictional shop on WhatsApp. An AI model reads the message. Prices, totals and next steps come from plain rules, the way I build Owl Express. Type your own message or pick a sample, and watch the API call beside it.

WhatsApp and Instagram become a sales operating layer for African SMEs. A deterministic booking engine collects order details, a dispatcher approves from a web dashboard, a rider completes the job in a mobile app, and proof of delivery returns to the same place. Multi-tenant: every business’s data is isolated at the query level.
A partner platform that lets other businesses send WhatsApp OTPs, verify a phone with a click-to-verify link, and collect payments in chat. It has a developer sandbox, a prepaid wallet with card top-ups, a settlement ledger, per-partner pricing, and a staff admin portal with roles and an audit trail.
The page you are reading. Ask Ayoola AI answers recruiter questions from a curated fact sheet and refuses to guess. The chat-to-order demo has an AI model read the customer message while plain rules compute prices and next steps. Both routes are rate limited and fall back safely when the model is unavailable.
Architecture lead for platforms that disburse and receive 2M+ international payments across Africa and Europe: five business architecture models, a compliance redesign, and 100% SLA delivery alongside clients. Described at a high level for client confidentiality.
Machine learning models that turned match statistics into scouting and coaching insight, cutting turnaround from two weeks to 20 minutes.
