The more I engage with this team, the more I see the intentionality behind the product. Most business banking stops at invoices, inventory and cards. But every business runs differently. They’re trying to solve for that nuance, and that’s the intentionality I’m talking about.

How do you take a side project to ₦593,226 GMV in 90 days? Spoiler: you don't plan it. You just refuse to let it die. The Folder Called: Graveyard thecriticaldummy.medium.com/…

A lot has happened since this tweet. I went completely off grid, struggled with impostor syndrome, and gratefully recovered. I’ve worked with amazing people across @nodejs and @openjsf on governance. I got early support from @ladyleet, @dshaw, @mylesborins, and organised events with support from @Ingressive4Good / @IngressiveCap community and many others. I also spent time in software engineering and engineering management across fintechs like Eyowo, Mono, Leap, a children’s card product in the UAE, and worked as an engineering consultant in MFBs. All of that brought me back to what has always been my thing: - Reading papers. - Studying how people think. I’m now transitioning into applied research engineering, with a focus on Philosophical System Design. The question behind the work is simple: How do we model human concepts in systems the way they are meant to be modeled, not merely the way they are convenient to implement? I’ve published two papers from that direction. One explores trust in digital commerce. The other questions static personas as a model for human identity.
