CURRICULUM VITAE

Community-first Cosmos SDK Layer 1 built for African and global builders. Native token SAF, chain ID safrochain-1, mainnet live since June 2026, Apache 2.0.

• – Architected and launched Safrochain from the Juno codebase to a live mainnet: Cosmos SDK v0.50, CometBFT, IBC, CosmWasm, governance, staking and oracle integration.[Go, Cosmos SDK, CometBFT, IBC, CosmWasm]
• – Run the live network day to day (61 active validators, upgrades, ecosystem), now serving 100,000+ wallets and millions of transactions.[validator ops, monitoring]
• – Designed and shipped custom application modules: Likelemba (rotating savings), XPoints (on-chain points), USAF Faucet, plus Osmosis Token Factory and Gaia GlobalFee integration and CosmWasm bindings.[x/ modules, keepers, protobuf, wasmbindings]
• – Own the release process: coordinated genesis and gentx submissions for mainnet launch, onboard and support validators, and plan and execute on-chain software upgrades of the core node.[genesis, upgrades, goreleaser]
• – Built the production indexing stack: Callisto (Go) syncing chain state into PostgreSQL, with a NestJS REST API serving explorers and apps.[Go, PostgreSQL, NestJS]
• – Built SafroExplorer, the network block explorer (blocks, transactions, validators, governance, CosmWasm contracts), and maintain a ping.pub deployment.[Next.js, TypeScript, RPC, gRPC]
• – Built SMultisig, a non-custodial K-of-N threshold multisig for teams: Legacy Amino multisig pubkeys, ADR-036 wallet sign-in, canonical SignDoc verification before storage or broadcast, role-based access and realtime signer sync.[Cosmos SDK multisig, Amino, Next.js]
• – Built WinSaf, a provably fair on-chain lottery inside Telegram: open-source CosmWasm contracts, beacon-backed draws, MPC 2-of-3 wallets and on-chain verification of every round.[CosmWasm, Rust, Telegram]
• – Shipped ecosystem dApps and SDKs: Safrimba (safrimba.safrochain.com), decentralized savings circles that bring Likelemba (ROSCA) on-chain with SAF or USDC payouts, and SAFHANDLE (name and phone number resolution to addresses, with Dart and TypeScript SDKs).[Rust, CosmWasm, Dart, TypeScript]
• – Maintain the ecosystem registries, docs and GitHub organization (25 repositories, external PR review, CI, security policy), and the chain listings in cosmos/chain-registry, keplr-chain-registry and Mintscan. Led the SAF listings on Coinstore (SAFUSDT) and CoinGecko.

Self-custody multi-chain wallet for the Cosmos ecosystem. Browser extension and mobile app on the same keys, IBC-native, Apache 2.0, 1.0 release candidate.

• – Lead a team of four developers and one community manager; own architecture, security model and release process.[TypeScript, Rust, Dart]
• – Shipped the Chrome extension (Manifest V3) with plain-language transaction decoding before signing, per-site permissions, Amino and Direct signing, and runtime chain suggestion.[TypeScript, CosmJS, InterchainJS]
• – Built the Flutter mobile wallet with biometric unlock, QR air-gapped approval of desktop transactions and WalletConnect v2 for dApp sessions.[Flutter, Dart, WalletConnect]
• – Designed the Zunia chain registry: 262 chains (218 Cosmos, 43 EVM, 1 Solana) read at runtime, so new chains need no app release.
• – Implemented one-step IBC transfers with channel, route and fees resolved before signing; median end-to-end transfer of 4.2 s measured from Cosmos Hub to Safrochain.[IBC, ICS-20]
• – Integrated Ledger (Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax) and Keystone 3 hardware signing, BIP39 and BIP44 derivation, AES-256 storage in the OS keystore, zero server-side key material.
• – Published developer SDKs (web, React, Flutter), a standard Cosmos wallet interface for drop-in dApp support, a live IBC map (ibcmap.zunialab.com) and a security disclosure policy.

Task-to-earn application for the Cosmos ecosystem with an on-chain reputation system.

• – Designed the reputation layer as a portable, verifiable signal usable by other Cosmos projects, with IBC multi-hop routing and signed, timestamped proofs consumable through an SDK.
• – Designed DYMA liquidity on Osmosis (weighted pool configuration, Token Factory denom registration).

Selected for Cohort 2 of the Intersect Developer Advocate Program, run by the Open Source Office.

• – Co-lead the Developer Experience Working Group (weekly sessions, a 12-week onboarding roadmap, a target of 15 to 30 new developers with working Cardano environments) and act as the focal point for developers in East and Central Africa.

• – Funded maintainer and top contributor (150+ commits) of IntersectMBO/developer-experience: backlog triage, release support, documentation and governance compliance under the Open Source Committee.

Software studio and developer community.

• – Frontend developer on Adaex, a decentralized exchange on Cardano (React, Node.js API integration, 2023 to 2025).
• – Project manager on Ekival, a P2P crypto application (AWS and Linux infrastructure, 2021 to 2022), and on ProWorkspace, a CRM platform (2023 to 2024).
• – Led the deployment of Dev Community (devcommunity.io), the studio’s developer platform, growing it to 2,000+ users.
• – Mentored 15+ junior developers in frontend and UI/UX (2021 to 2022).
