I build secure, reliable, and cryptographically sound systems. My background in Site Reliability Engineering and infrastructure gives me a strong foundation for designing and scaling distributed systems that prioritize trust, verifiability, and resilience.

Now, I’m diving deep into applied cryptography — focusing on Zero-Knowledge Proofs, secure computation, and privacy-preserving infrastructure for the next generation of internet protocols.

• 🧰 Current Role: Senior SRE at Bitnob — building Bitcoin & Lightning infrastructure for Africa
• 🧱 Focus Areas: Cryptography, Zero-Knowledge Systems, Secure Infrastructure
• 🧩 Background: Cloud, Kubernetes, DevOps, Infrastructure Security
• 🌍 Location: Abuja, Nigeria → Preparing for relocation to Europe/Canada (2026)
