Products I'm launching
Reoclo live
Deployment platform for any Linux server, from Git, the CLI, or AI agents. Since February 2026 it has managed 30 servers across 10 organizations, including a crypto exchange and a payments app, with uptime monitoring, cost tracking, and service migrations built in.
Prawnwire beta
Business email and a transactional email API. Unified inbox, calendars, and automatic DNS record management, plus a sending API and SDK so AI tools can work with email directly.
Air Traffic Controller coming soon
A profile-aware default browser router for macOS. Sets as your system default and routes every link to the right browser and the right profile based on URL, source app, Wi-Fi network, time of day, and Focus mode. Includes a keyboard-driven picker, a Raycast-style launcher, multi-engine search, and an opt-in AI agent for writing routing rules in plain language.

A Bounded Agent Near a Live Deploy: What It Fixed, and What I Kept for Myself
The companion to my NITHUB Innovation Fair masterclass, Building Technology Infrastructure for Scale. The demo you watched: an AI agent that diagnosed a broken deploy, named the missing secret without ever printing it, then stopped to ask before it changed anything. The three guardrails behind it, the slides, and the four part write up are all here. It matters most on the day your product goes viral. Diagnosis was automated. The decision was mine.

The day your product goes viral is the day you ship the most, under the most pressure. Before you get there, a failed deploy has to be a non event: the platform holds the old version and rolls back on its own, no agent and no human required. That floor is what everything else in this series stands on.

I gave an agent a real failed deploy and the tools to fix it. The most important thing it did was stop and ask before touching a secret. Diagnosis was automated. The decision was mine. That split, plus the one class of action I keep out of its reach entirely, is the whole point.

NITHUB Innovation Fair · Lagos, Nigeria · July 30, 2026
A 60-minute masterclass on the infrastructure that keeps a product alive the day it takes off. Covered failing safely by default with blue-green deploys, health checks, and automatic rollback, where an AI agent belongs in the operations loop, and the guardrails that let an agent diagnose a broken deploy while a human keeps every irreversible decision. The centerpiece was a live demo: an agent that diagnosed a missing secret and stopped at an approval gate instead of fixing it on its own.
Read the companion article →Agentic AI for the African Ecosystem
MLOps Community (Lagos Chapter) + AI Community Africa · Lagos, Nigeria · March 1, 2026
Delivered an insightful session on how AI can be efficiently utilized in the African market, drawing from firsthand experience building AI-powered products. Shared global frameworks and Agentic AI workflows adapted for African contexts, and made a call to action for purposeful, impactful AI adoption, moving beyond trend-chasing into purposeful deployment of Agentic AI systems.

Reliable, maintainable systems matter more than impressive prototypes. Every product should be designed to survive real-world usage at scale.
Automate Everything That Repeats
Good engineering systematically eliminates friction. CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and automated testing are not optional; they are the baseline.
Own the Full Path to Delivery
Strong technical leadership means being accountable for architecture, deployment, maintenance, and iteration, not just writing code.
Build AI That Is Purposeful and Impactful
AI should not be adopted because it is trendy, but because it solves a real problem. Agentic systems need clear objectives, the right mindset, and relevance to the people they serve.
Think Locally, Build Globally
Products built for African markets deserve the same engineering rigour, scalability, and thoughtfulness as those built for global audiences.
Keep Systems Useful as They Scale
Engineering decisions should support long-term growth, operational resilience, and team clarity, not just solve today’s problem.
