Hello, I'm Emmanuel Okeke.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 6 years of experience building high-impact products across fintech, payments, and crypto. I work across the full stack: React Native, Next.js, NestJS, GraphQL, Prisma, PostgreSQL, stablecoin payment rails, and MCP tooling for AI agents.

I'm one of the founding engineers at Blaze (YC S24). I shipped the AI CFO product (an agentic financial assistant with a verdict-gating eval harness), published MCP tools inside the Blaze CLI so agents can drive real production workflows, and own the cross-border stablecoin surface across mobile, web, and backend. 1,340+ users across 50+ countries, $45K+ in monthly volume.

Previously, I was Lead Frontend Engineer at Gaugecash, where I integrated smart contracts and Web3 services, achieving 50% faster transaction speeds and 35% higher user satisfaction. I also mentored 2 junior developers and maintained 95+ Lighthouse performance scores.

On the side, I solo-built and shipped TinyOps, an AI-native guardrail SaaS for engineering teams. A declarative YAML rule engine with shadow-mode evaluation, multi-tenant architecture, and a public MCP server (13 tools, on npm) so any AI client can manage rules through natural language. Approximately 180k lines of TypeScript across a pnpm and Turborepo monorepo, 2,700+ passing tests.

I also build and ship my own products. Most recently Clavo, a full-stack SaaS for Mexican tradespeople with AI-powered voice-to-quote and SAT-compliant invoicing.

Outside of work, I'm into sports, travel, and staying on top of the latest in technology. I also love Brian Cox and Neil deGrasse Tyson podcasts and YouTube, anything on quantum physics, space, theoretical physics, and the more curious corners of tech.

Open to senior/staff roles, founding engineer opportunities, and contract work. Drop me an email and let's talk.
