GOODNESS
OBAJE
Fullstack engineer who builds end-to-end, from infrastructure to interface. Deep product instinct sharpened across 12+ companies. Currently CTO & Co-Founder at Gist dApp.
I build software: infrastructure, APIs, and the interfaces people actually use. Based in Abuja, Nigeria. Currently Founding Engineer at Gist dApp, architecting and owning the full stack of a Web3 product.
Across 12+ companies I've built and shipped in fintech, Web3, and SaaS, including Wallets Africa (YC W19), EXX Network, Nyra Wallet, and Gatefield. I work across the full stack and bring strong product instinct to every system I architect. The result: software that's well-engineered and actually makes sense to use.
I also carry 4 years of professional product design, not as a past identity, but as a technical edge. I can read a broken user flow as fast as I can read broken code. That makes me a sharper engineer on any team.
I also run Melfi Technology Limited, a software agency based in Abuja building products for 20+ startups across Africa.
