02About

A career built around creating value.

My career in technology began in 2020 at Bojale Labs, where I worked across FinTech, EdTech, and workplace software products.

At WeLoveNoCode, I moved from managing product delivery and client engagements into leading Customer Success. Working with international clients taught me that building software is only one part of the challenge. Delivering value, retaining customers, and growing relationships matter just as much.

At PropTechBuzz, those experiences came together. I joined as the founding Product Manager, helping take the platform from concept to launch. I later moved into Growth and Partnerships before becoming Co-Founder and Head of Growth, where I now lead commercial strategy and revenue development.

Alongside my professional work, I teach Product Management at Treford Africa and explore how AI can accelerate the process of building useful digital products.

04Selected work

Products I've built and grown.

The problem, my part in it, how we approached it and what changed.

Product & growth · 2023 — Present

PropTechBuzz

From an idea to a proptech platform with 13,500+ members and 1,300+ listings.

The problem

PropTechBuzz began as an idea: one place for proptech news, vendors and community. It needed a product, an audience and revenue.

My role

Founding Product Manager, then Global Lead, Growth & Partnerships; now Co-Founder & Head of Growth.

Approach

Ran discovery and shipped the MVP in three months, with a React platform and a WordPress media module. Kept a cross-functional team on weekly releases, then turned to growth through conference partnerships and Category Leadership sales.

Outcome

13,500+ registered members, around 15,000 weekly sessions, 1,300+ vendor and product listings, and approximately $15K–$20K in monthly company sales following the 2026 commercial turnaround. I personally closed and collected $60K across four consecutive Category Leadership contracts.

Product & client success · 2021 — 2023

WeLoveNoCode

Shipping client MVPs and running client success for most of the company's revenue.

The problem

A no-code agency building MVPs for many clients at once, each with its own stack, timeline and stakeholders.

My role

Product Manager, promoted within a year to Head of Client Success.

Approach

Turned client requirements into PRDs, user stories, flows and wireframes. Led developers, designers, marketing, sales and QA across concurrent builds on Bubble, Webflow, WordPress, Adalo and FlutterFlow, and managed about 70% of the company's ARR portfolio.

Outcome

50+ MVPs shipped, about $2.1M ARR under management (~70% of the company portfolio), ~80% client retention and up to 78% client reactivation. Company ARR grew from $500K to $3M, and WeLoveNoCode was later acquired by Toptal.

Interactive Wedding Experience

A mobile-first digital wedding experience that turned a traditional invitation into an interactive journey.

The problem

Traditional wedding invitations communicate event details but offer little interaction beyond an RSVP. Guests often need to search through messages for venue information, schedules, seating arrangements, and other important details.

I wanted to create a more engaging experience that made wedding information easy to access while reflecting the couple's story and personality.

My role

Founder, Product Designer & AI-Assisted Developer.

I conceived the experience, defined the product requirements, designed the guest journey, and built the platform using AI-assisted development tools.

Approach

I created a mobile-first digital wedding experience that transformed a traditional invitation into an interactive journey.

Using React and AI-assisted development, I built a storybook-style invitation that guided guests through the wedding information with smooth, continuous transitions and a simple RSVP experience.

The broader guest experience also incorporated searchable seating arrangements, digital event information, and guest-generated photography.

The emphasis was on making the platform intuitive for guests while creating something more personal than a conventional wedding website.

Outcome

Successfully built and deployed for my wedding in September 2026.

The experience demonstrated how AI-assisted development could turn a personal idea into a functional digital product.

It also generated organic interest: an attendee independently requested a similar experience for an upcoming wedding.

That interest provided early validation for exploring a broader wedding technology offering.

The problem

AERDF approached WeLoveNoCode with an education technology project initially scoped for one developer over one month, with a budget of $2,000.

After reviewing the requirements, I identified that the proposed timeline, team composition, and budget did not adequately reflect the complexity of the work.

Delivering the project effectively required a more realistic scope, additional technical expertise, and a structured implementation plan.

My role

Product & Project Management, Client Success and Account Expansion.

I worked directly with the client to understand their requirements, reassess the project scope, align expectations, and coordinate the multidisciplinary team responsible for delivery.

My responsibilities combined product scoping, stakeholder management, delivery planning, and commercial account management.

Approach

Rather than proceed with an unrealistic delivery commitment, I worked with the client to redefine the engagement around its actual requirements.

I proposed expanding the delivery team beyond a single developer to include development, design, QA, and project management.

We also revised the implementation timeline from one month to three months, providing a more achievable delivery plan.

This consultative approach helped align the client's expectations with the resources and execution needed.

Outcome

200% increase in initial contract value, from $2,000 to $6,000.

The revised engagement delivered approximately 85% of the agreed project scope within the three-month implementation period.

More importantly, the initial project developed into an ongoing client relationship lasting approximately one year.

The experience reinforced the value of effective discovery, transparent communication, realistic project scoping, and aligning commercial outcomes with customer needs.
