Pan-African Neobank · Remote · 11 highlights

• Led platform architecture for a neobank serving cross-border payments, KYC-gated services, and virtual USD cards across multiple African markets. Live on iOS & Android.
• Shipped LLM-powered features to production: a support and operations assistant using RAG (vector + keyword retrieval over internal docs) with Anthropic Claude and OpenAI, grounding answers to reduce hallucination across customer and internal flows.
• Engineered agentic workflows that take real actions across internal APIs via tool-use / function calling — automating multi-step KYC, transaction, and support tasks with human-in-the-loop verification.
• Built a custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing internal tools and connectors to LLM agents, standardising how agents call company systems.
• Applied LLM-assisted document extraction to KYC/identity flows, turning unstructured documents into structured, validated fields feeding the Prova verification pipeline.
• Architected the cross-border RateEngine — the core pricing layer driving FX conversion, internal rate sourcing, and liquidity routing across remittance and crypto flows.
• Built Prova, a provider-agnostic tiered KYC platform — primarily Laravel, with Go and Python microservices for high-throughput verification paths — with progressive feature gating across user journeys.
• Architected a bidirectional USDT-to-fiat remittance platform with payout via local rails (SasaPay, PawaPay, M-Pesa), priced by the RateEngine.
• Owned the Hizo Global Virtual Card system end to end — architecture, schema, REST API, security, and Interlace SDK integration.
• Designed an end-to-end encryption layer (X25519, HKDF-SHA256, AES-256-GCM) for secure card-detail reveals, with a Flutter client SDK.
• Managed a team of 6 engineers and seven third-party vendor relationships across product, design, and compliance.
