The Person

ABOUT ME

8+ years building digital products. Started as a hobbyist, now running a full-service studio and marketplace for developers.

HELLO,
I'M JAMES.

I'm a full-stack developer obsessed with craft — clean code, performant systems, and interfaces that feel effortless. I started coding at 16, launched my first SaaS at 22, and have since worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies across fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS.

The marketplace started as a way to share tools I built for myself. Today it's a curated collection of 16 production-ready products trusted by 340+ developers. Every item is tested, documented, and maintained.

Based between Lagos and Toronto. Available for consulting, custom builds, and collaborations.

HOW I WORK

A set of principles that guides every project and product I ship.

01

Ship Fast, Iterate Faster

Working software beats perfect planning. I bias toward action, ship an MVP quickly, then iterate based on real data and feedback.

02

Performance is a Feature

Every millisecond matters. I optimize for Core Web Vitals, bundle size, and server response time as first-class requirements.

03

Accessible by Default

WCAG AA compliance is the baseline. I build for keyboard users, screen readers, and low-bandwidth connections.

04

Documentation First

Code without docs is a liability. Every marketplace product includes comprehensive README, code comments, and setup guides.
