Schedufast: Automated timetable-to-calendar sync for students
Students lose hours each term manually copying class schedules into their calendars. Schedufast parses a student's timetable and automatically populates their Google Calendar, cutting a task that used to take up to two hours down to a few clicks.
Built as a live SaaS product with subscription billing via the Paystack SDK, including webhook handling for real-time payment events. Handled the full stack: parsing logic, Google Calendar API integration, and a production billing pipeline serving real paying users.

I have a quick question and I was wondering, does anyone get hired to do work on this platform for any kind of full stack or web design work just curious
Yes, people do get hired through platforms like this - consistently showcasing real projects and clearly stating your availability can help a lot. 🚀
Personal finance dashboard — from an hour of admin to two minutes
A weekly household finance workflow (manually pulling bank CSVs, splitting and categorising spends across two people, cross-checking shared expenses, reviewing totals against savings goals) was taking about an hour every week and still made it hard to tell at a glance whether spending was on track. Designed and built a dashboard that automates the pull, categorisation, and monthly view.
My role:
Research (mapped the existing manual workflow and pain points), UX design, and AI-assisted build of the dashboard.
Outcome:
Cut the weekly admin task from roughly an hour to about two minutes.
Note on scope:
Personal side project, not a client engagement. Included here as a live example of the kind of workflow-to-dashboard problem I take on for clients (repeat-purchase and admin-heavy flows, see Pet Circle and SafetyCulture project cards).
Project details up on my profile.
This sounds like a game-changer for weekly finances! How did you automate the CSV pulls?
Behind the Scenes: Building High-Performance Desktop Applications with Electron.js
Electron has become one of my favorite technologies for creating powerful cross-platform desktop applications. It combines modern web development with native desktop capabilities, making it possible to build sophisticated software from a single codebase.
For one of my recent projects, I engineered a desktop application capable of processing live data, monitoring user interactions, and managing complex workflows in real time. Performance was a top priority, so every component from rendering to background processes was optimized to reduce memory usage and improve responsiveness.
Instead of focusing only on functionality, I prioritize clean architecture, reusable components, and maintainable code. This approach allows applications to scale while remaining easy to update as business requirements evolve.
Whether it's automation software, analytics dashboards, or enterprise desktop tools, I believe great software should feel fast, intuitive, and reliable. That's the standard I bring to every project I build.
