Story

From a first website at Mobile Tech Hub to building companies out of Ganzhou.

Started out at Mobile Tech Hub, where WordPress, HTML, CSS and JavaScript turned curiosity into a career.

App

The apps I am building, and where to get them.

Korvanta app screens — onboarding, RMB wallet and auto-translating supplier chat

Korvanta

The Import Super-App

The super-app connecting Nigerian importers directly to verified Chinese factories. Import smarter, not harder.

Hold a renminbi balance, convert at a live rate, pay suppliers, and talk to a factory in Guangzhou or Yiwu in English while they read it in Chinese. Quotes, negotiation and escrow all sit in the same thread as the conversation.

  • RMB wallet with live ¥ to ₦ conversion
  • Verified factories, not listings
  • Auto-translating supplier chat, EN ⇄ 中文
  • Quotes, negotiation and order tracking
  • Escrow — the balance releases when you say so
Korvanta Business app screens — supplier dashboard, escrow earnings and payout history

Korvanta Business

Korvanta for Suppliers · 中国工厂对接尼日利亚买家平台

The factory side of the same rails. Chinese suppliers get direct, recurring orders from verified Nigerian importers — no agent in the middle taking a cut of a relationship they did not build.

Inquiries, chats and orders in one dashboard, in English and Chinese. Money sits in escrow where both sides can see it, and payouts settle to a local bank account.

  • New inquiries and unread chats at a glance
  • Orders in progress, end to end
  • Escrow balance and released-to-date earnings
  • Payouts to a local bank account
  • Bilingual throughout, EN ⇄ 中文

Book

A cybersecurity book written for people who do not care about cybersecurity.

Shield Up: Defending Your Digital World

By Godwin Ubani

The complete Gen Z guide to online safety, digital identity and thriving in a cyber world.

Most security advice is written for people who already agree with it. This book is written for everyone else — the people who know they should use a password manager and haven’t, and who have never been given a reason to believe their own actions change the outcome.

  • Threat modelling for people who are not engineers
  • Why fear-based security advice backfires
  • The three controls that matter more than the other twenty
  • Building a security habit that survives friction
04 / Capability

Expertise

Skills, training and the work behind them.

Software Engineering

Full-stack product development in TypeScript, React and Next.js, Node.js and Python, with the cloud infrastructure underneath it.

  • TypeScript · React · Next.js
  • Node.js · Python
  • Cloud infrastructure and deployment

Artificial Intelligence

AI products and LLM integration, with a working interest in where these systems break — prompt injection, tool permissions, and the gap between what a model is told and what it does.

  • AI product development
  • LLM integration and tooling
  • Prompt security and agent safety

Cybersecurity

Network architecture and security protocols studied formally at Aptech, applied since to secure architecture, zero-trust thinking and the security writing that became Shield Up.

  • Network architecture and protocols
  • Zero-trust and secure architecture
  • Security awareness and education

Web Development

Where it started — WordPress, HTML, CSS and JavaScript at Mobile Tech Hub, and the first websites that turned an interest into a profession.

Venture Building

Product strategy and company building across cross-border commerce and renewable energy — the parts that are hard to copy: financing structure, distribution, and being willing to specify the component that costs more and lasts.

  • Product strategy and go-to-market
  • Cross-border commerce
  • Renewable energy distribution

Solar in Africa doesn't have a hardware problem

The panels work fine. It's everything around them that breaks.

Panel prices have fallen off a cliff. A watt of solar costs a fraction of what it did a decade ago, the efficiency is fine, the manufacturing is mature and boring. The hardware is solved.

Your prompt is an input field

Prompt injection is the same bug we've been shipping since 1998, wearing a hat.

If you've written any backend code you already understand prompt injection. You just haven't been told that's what it is.

What I got wrong about studying in China

Notes from Ganzhou, and one conference that rearranged how I think about the gap.

I came to Jiangxi University of Science and Technology expecting to learn computer science. I did learn computer science. That turned out to be the least interesting thing I learned.

Nobody reads your security advice

What I learned writing a cybersecurity book for people who don't care about cybersecurity.

Here's the advice: use a password manager, enable two-factor authentication, don't reuse passwords, keep your software updated, be careful what you click.

The exchange rate is not the hard part

Everyone asks what the naira buys today. Almost nobody asks the question that actually costs them money.

Ask an importer in Lagos what makes buying from China difficult and the answer comes back immediately: the rate. The naira moved again. The rate is the thing everyone watches, quotes at each other, and…
