Payments, commerce, marketplaces, and the internal systems a company actually operates on. Architecture, build, deploy, and the unglamorous reliability work that keeps them alive after launch.
The firm is young on purpose. The record is not: production systems for Fortune 500 platforms, national-scale infrastructure, and three products of my own that the team and I keep running. One architect who owns the decisions, senior engineers who build and operate.
Twelve years shipping production software, most of it on systems that could not go down: a Fortune 500 commerce platform serving millions, a national-scale microservices backbone, and a live migration of millions of records with no data loss.
Most of that was spent inside other people's engineering organisations, most recently as a Software Architect at Crossover. Ojixa exists so the same work is available directly, without an agency layer.
How it works in practice: I take the problem, write the architecture, and stay accountable for it. A senior team builds and operates alongside me. You get one person who owns the decisions and a bench deep enough that the work does not stop when one of us is asleep.
Two problems keep coming back: commerce platforms that have to stay up while they change, and marketplaces where the platform holds the money until both sides are satisfied. That is where twelve years went, and it is what the work below is made of.
Escrow-mediated marketplaces, end to end. The hard part is never the booking flow, it is what happens when someone says the work was not done.
BUILT IN MONIREF AND RELIABLE MENDERS →Custom and headless storefronts, and replatforms on live traffic. The cutover is planned before it is run, not repaired afterwards.
SEE E-01 AND E-03 →Multi-tenant SaaS and high-concurrency platforms, including the parts that get expensive later: permissions, billing, audit trails, admin tooling.
SEE E-02 →iOS and Android alongside the web, built for the devices your customers actually own rather than the demo handset.
SEE E-04 →Client work is under NDA and described by shape rather than name. The three below are not: one US, two Nigerian, mine or co-founded, built and kept running with the same team.
Parental leave, handled. Role-aware flows for employees, managers, and HR admins, on top of a policy engine that models each company's own leave and benefit rules. Multi-tenant from the first commit, so an HR team can run it without a spreadsheet or a lawyer on standby.
A payment referee for Nigerian businesses: a neutral party that holds the customer's money until the goods arrive, so sellers get paid upfront and buyers keep their protection. KYC, dispute handling, and settlement, without the friction of traditional escrow.
Hiring KYC-verified plumbers, electricians, and carpenters across Nigeria. Clients post a job, pick a matched contractor, and fund it through escrow; payment releases only on confirmed completion. iOS, Android, wallet payouts to any Nigerian bank, and a resolution team that issues binding decisions when the two sides disagree.
Closed testing, early access open. Twenty-plus trades, nationwide coverage at launch.
RELIABLEMENDERS.COM →Eight million orders and customer records moved off Volusion onto BigCommerce, on live traffic, with SEO authority and rollback safety both non-negotiable. Chunked migration with per-chunk rollback, parallel pipelines, and custom product displays tuned for LCP, INP, and CLS.
8M records migrated with zero data loss. Regained #1 rankings on key terms. Thousands of orders a day, millions of visitors a week.
A high-concurrency digital exhibition platform built during COVID against a fixed public launch date, with live chat and streaming integrated and stress, penetration, and static testing before it opened.
2,000 to 10,000 concurrent users, zero downtime on launch day, delivered on the date. The client came back.
A monolith capping scalability and release velocity, modernized under live production traffic with no margin for regression. Frontend and backend separated behind maintained API contracts, with governance-driven review and progressive rollout.
A stable platform serving millions of users, with release cycles accelerated and production defects materially reduced.
Real-time positioning and integrated checkout for a beach resort, constrained by the older Android hardware actually in guests' hands. Node backend with live location services, and rendering tuned for the virtual beach view.
End-to-end booking and payment shipped, accurate placement, smooth on legacy devices.
A ward-floor app where patients sign in at the bedside to see care videos and medications assigned to them personally. Ward attendants, nurses, doctors, and patients each reach only what their role permits, and a patient record stays isolated on a device the whole ward touches. Built to HIPAA technical requirements for handling PHI, with staff assigning content per patient rather than exposing a shared library.
Shipped to live wards. Four roles separated by policy, and no patient able to reach another patient’s record from a shared device.
Twenty-plus engagements led in total. Full technical write-ups on any of them, sent on request.
Bring the goal. We write the plan, and you own it whether or not we build it. The risk we remove is the six figures most teams spend before anything is deployable. Phase four has no end date.
Thirty minutes on a call. We leave with the problem in one paragraph you agree with, and a view on whether we are the right shop.
We do the thinking before the building, and write it down. This is Model 0, and it is the only phase you can buy on its own.
Weekly deployable increments in your staging environment. Progress is something you can click.
We stay on. Monitoring, runbooks, and the pager, run by the people who wrote it. Handover to your own team happens when you have hired one, not at launch.
Most client work sits behind an NDA. The decisions do not. Read how we choose here, and ask for the full technical write-up on any engagement above.
How to choose between Shopify, BigCommerce, custom, and headless commerce in 2026: a decision framework covering pricing, platform fit, and what most comparisons get wrong.
A live Volusion-to-BigCommerce migration of 8M+ records with zero data loss: the SEO, redirects, password, and architecture decisions that made the cutover seamless, and how traffic recovered to pre-migration levels.
The question isn't whether to use async messaging. It's knowing exactly which flows need an immediate response and which don't. One wrong answer either way creates fragility.
Floors, not quotes. Cost moves with scope and integration count, so the first thing we sell is the work that establishes both. You keep that document either way, including when we tell you we are the wrong shop.
Two weeks with a senior engineer, ending in a written plan: scope, stack, sequence, risks, and a cost range you can take to a board. It is a deliverable, not a proposal, and it is yours to build with anyone. Every engagement below starts here.
We take a stake in whether it works: reduced cash, some equity, and a seat in the decisions that determine the outcome. Two or three a year, and only where we can affect it.
A standing senior team and the pager. The right answer when the roadmap is still moving, and the only answer after launch.
One defined outcome, one price, one date, priced off the Model 0 plan. Best when v1 is already decided and needs shipping.
Not a lead form. Four answers is what we need to tell you whether this is our kind of problem, and to write you something useful if it is. Two of the six are optional and we will not chase you for them.
