2013 - 2017Language & Tools
- TypeScript / React (Vite, hooks, context, Suspense)
- Tailwind + accessible UI patterns (roving tabindex, roles/ARIA)
- Node/Edge functions (Vercel/Cloudflare), REST/Fetch with timeouts & retries
- Firebase (Auth/Firestore/Storage) + KV/Edge Cache for quotes
- CSV toolchain (Papa Parse, schema validation, error-CSV export)
- Testing: Playwright, Vitest, Testing Library
- DevOps: GitHub Actions, preview deploys, Sentry, simple telemetry counters
- Data: basic SQL, time-series hygiene, provider fallbacks

Currently Exploring
- Keyboard-first dashboards: a11y as a speed feature (Arrow/Home/End, ? overlay)
- Client → edge failovers for equities/FX/crypto (never show 0.00)
Local-first UX: on-device scenarios & recent quotes; privacy by default
- Deterministic imports: broker-agnostic CSV normalization and redacted-row debugging
- Explainable P/L: surface why a number changed (not just the number)
- Activation metrics: driving Time-to-First-Insight

Achievements
- Shipped Pocket Portfolio (OSS, no-paywall): CSV → live P/L + Mock-Trade & Scenario Lab
- Built a resilient price fallback architecture (client→edge rotation + caching)
- Designed an import flow with sample files and error-CSV for fast fixes
- Grew an early community (DEV/Discord) and merged first contributor PRs
- Published build-in-public posts that convert readers to testers/contributors

Fun Fact
I’m from Kaduna, Nigeria. I treat portfolio hygiene like the gym: small, consistent reps beat heroic, once-a-month sessions.
Random Dev Quote
“Safe by default, fast by design, explainable always. Ship small, testable slices—and make the keyboard the first-class user.” - 22s
