Hello, I'm Emmanuel Okeke.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 5 years of experience building high-impact products across fintech, payments, and crypto. I work across the full stack — React Native, Next.js, NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and stablecoin payment rails.

I'm one of the founding engineers at Blaze (YC S24), where I built and shipped the React Native mobile app and Next.js web platform for cross-border stablecoin payments — serving 1,340+ users across 50+ countries and processing $45K+ in monthly volume.

Previously, I was Lead Frontend Engineer at Gaugecash, where I integrated smart contracts and Web3 services, achieving 50% faster transaction speeds and 35% higher user satisfaction. I also mentored 2 junior developers and maintained 95+ Lighthouse performance scores.

Most recently, I solo-built and shipped TinyOps — an enforcement and intelligence layer for developer workflows. A declarative YAML rule engine with shadow-mode evaluation, multi-tenant architecture, and integrations across GitHub, Vercel, Slack, and more. ~90k lines of TypeScript across a pnpm/turbo monorepo.

I also build and ship my own products — most recently Clavo, a full-stack SaaS for Mexican tradespeople with AI-powered voice-to-quote and SAT-compliant invoicing.

Outside of work, I'm into sports, travel, and staying on top of the latest in technology. I also love Brian Cox and Neil deGrasse Tyson podcasts and YouTube, anything on quantum physics, space, theoretical physics, and the more curious corners of tech.

Open to senior/staff roles, founding engineer opportunities, and contract work. Drop me an email and let's talk.
