A 60-page governance architecture proposing four interdependent accountability layers for Nigerian public administration: independent data infrastructure, public benchmarking, automated consequence architecture, and merit-based civil service reform. Incorporates blockchain immutability for tamper-proof record keeping, AI pattern recognition for corruption detection, behavioral adoption design for civic technology, and a permanence architecture designed to survive hostile political cycles. Better than a vision document. A construction manual.

A national AI policy framework authored independently while Nigeria operated on an incomplete draft policy. Covers ethical AI deployment standards, governance structures for AI systems at national scale, accountability mechanisms, and regulatory design adapted to Nigeria's institutional context. Produced without institutional affiliation. Covered by major Nigerian national media.

Founder and CTO of Paylo, a two-sided AI-native marketplace built for African markets. Full-stack architecture including iOS and Android applications, real-time messaging, payment integration, service booking infrastructure, visual search, and merchant verification systems. Built and launched as a solo technical founder. Designed around the infrastructure constraints and behavioral patterns specific to African consumer markets.

A systems analysis of Nigeria's governance failures reframed as infrastructure problems rather than moral failures. Argues that tribal loyalty, political apathy, and reform resistance are rational adaptations to a system that was never designed to produce different behavior. Published ahead of Nigeria's election cycle.
