A Nigerian infrastructure-finance institution (via DREEF)

CRM 2.0: a deal-origination system for infrastructure finance

Rebuilt how deal teams at a Nigerian institution that guarantees local-currency infrastructure bonds move projects from first contact to financial close: one unified deal record, a staged pipeline, portfolio analytics, and a settings layer operations run themselves. I set design direction and own the design system across the CRM, the learning platform and the internal service desk.

A Nigerian infrastructure-finance institution (via DREEF)

LMS 2.0: a learning platform with a module-scoped AI tutor

An internal learning platform for a dense body of infrastructure project-finance knowledge: phased curricula, reference material kept inside the module, a manager view, and an AI assistant deliberately scoped to the module you are in rather than the open web. Shares a design system with the CRM.

A Nigerian identity-verification platform

A self-serve identity-verification platform

Three connected surfaces (a client dashboard, an internal admin console, and a no-login face-capture flow for end users) so organisations can run photo-verification campaigns against a government identity database, with an audit trail defensible enough for pensions and payroll.
