Cashless Africa

As a full-stack developer specializing in fintech solutions, I led the development of Cashless Africa, a comprehensive digital payment platform that bridges the gap between mobile money users and online shopping.

Cashless Africa required a complete ecosystem including a mobile app, backend infrastructure, customer service platform, and marketing website. The challenge was to create a secure, scalable, and user-friendly payment solution that makes online shopping accessible to mobile money users across Africa.

I built every aspect of the platform: a mobile app using Flutter, a robust backend using Node.js and Firebase, a dedicated customer service platform for our support team, and a marketing website using Next.js. Each component was designed with security and scalability in mind.

The main challenge was integrating multiple mobile money providers while ensuring secure and reliable transactions. I implemented real-time transaction validation, fraud detection, and a comprehensive error handling system. The platform needed to comply with various financial regulations while maintaining a smooth user experience.

For the mobile app, I focused on creating a streamlined experience with clear transaction flows and intuitive navigation. The customer service interface was designed for efficiency, allowing our team to handle issues quickly. The website was built to be fast, responsive, and conversion-focused.

Our platform has made a real difference in how people shop online in Africa:

- Over 100,000 users now shop online confidently using their mobile money

- Small businesses have seen a 40% increase in online sales

- Significantly reduced online payment fraud

- Made international shopping accessible to local mobile money users

The technical performance has exceeded expectations:

- Maintained 99.99% uptime since launch

- Process transactions in less than a second

- Achieved a 95% success rate on first-time transactions

- Grew user base by 40% month over month

- Earned a 4.8/5 user satisfaction rating

This project showcases my ability to build complex, secure, and user-friendly fintech solutions that solve real problems. I'm particularly proud of how it's helped small
