I build the thing,
then I ship it.

Freelance builder working across Web3 development, AI data annotation, and product design. Rates quoted in naira.

About

who's holding the pen

I work across three things that turn out to overlap more than they should: training and evaluating AI systems for a living, building freelance web and Web3 products for clients, and writing fiction on the side. Most days that means judging model output against a rubric in the morning and writing a Solidity contract or a Lovable build prompt by evening.

I am based in Lagos. Pricing for client work is quoted in naira, and a lot of what I build starts as a hackathon submission before it becomes something someone actually pays for. I go by Nero online and Emmanuel everywhere else.

I did not come up through a single track. Data annotation and evaluation work at places like Scale AI, Outlier AI, and Handshake AI taught me how strict a rubric can be. Roles at Pira-Tech, Leadway Health, and IBM taught me the other end: shipping something a business actually depends on. The freelance and Web3 work is where those two habits meet.

Build log

what I shipped

Redline

LIVE

A contract risk analyzer for freelancers, built for the Rampamble Hackathon. Runs a dual-LLM backend, Claude and Gemini cross-checking each other, to flag risky clauses before a freelancer signs. Deployed to Vercel with a public repo.

Independent security audit

AUDITED

Audited Lorenzo Protocol's TGE and vesting contracts on BNB Smart Chain without being asked to. Found eight issues, two of them high severity, and disclosed all of them responsibly by email and a GitHub issue before writing this up anywhere.

  • Solidity
  • Lorenzo Protocol

Launchpad prototype on Arc

DRAFT

A crypto launchpad built as a learning exercise on Arc, Circle's EVM-compatible L1. Solidity contracts, a Hardhat test suite, and a self-contained frontend styled like an actual ledger book rather than a typical dashboard.

  • Hardhat

Wayne Catering

LIVE

A lead-generation site for my aunt's catering business. WhatsApp booking built in, SEO cleanup, a logo, and a Behance and X presence to back it up. The kind of project where the client is also family, so the pricing conversation matters as much as the build.

Inference Angels puzzle hunt

IN PROGRESS

An NFT puzzle hunt (#7021) that comes down to finding a three-word phrase matching a target hash prefix. Writing a vectorized SHA-256 brute-forcer in C using AVX-512 to search fast enough for it to be worth trying.

Waypoint

LIVE

Boutique travel agency site built around a boarding-pass motif, ticket-stub cards, real destination photography, and full working newsletter/enquiry backends on Supabase.

web3 work

VeriPact

LIVE — TESTNET
chain: base

An AI-powered escrow platform for freelancers and clients. Smart contracts hold funds until milestone conditions are verified, an AI checks the work against the agreement, and a 'Trust Passport' carries a freelancer's on-chain reputation from one job to the next.

The VeriPactEscrow contract is live on Base Sepolia. Wallet connect, agreement creation, and USDC milestone funding are wired up and working end to end. Dispute resolution and timeout handling are what is left.

VeriLeaf

HACKATHON BUILD
chain: sui

An environmental impact platform built to feel like a premium SaaS product rather than a crypto app: the blockchain stays invisible, the interface does not. Pitched as Duolingo, Strava, and GitHub for environmental impact, with tier names drawn from nature (Seed through Earth Steward) instead of gamified badges.

Built for the Brainwave 2026 Hackathon on Lovable, with thirteen page-by-page build prompts, a full WCAG AA color system, a pitch deck, and a demo script written alongside the product itself.

Meridian

self-published — kdp

MERIDIAN is a techno-thriller novella, about twenty thousand words, that starts with private aviation repossession work and escalates into international espionage, set in Nairobi. Full manuscript: characters, an eleven-chapter outline, a continuity pass, and a KDP listing with an original cover, all built out and self-published on Amazon.
