Daniel Efegoma · Platform Engineer

I build marketplace, fintech, and blockchain platforms.

Multi-surface products — API, dashboard and mobile app — designed, built and shipped end to end. Founders and funded teams bring me in when the thing they need is a platform, not a website.

How I work

  1. 1

    Scoping call

    30 min, free

    Goals, constraints, budget. You leave with a written scope whether we work together or not.

  2. 2

    Technical proposal

    2–3 days

    Architecture, stack, milestones and a fixed price. No surprises later.

  3. 3

    Build in milestones

    2–8 weeks typical

    Weekly demo links. You see working software every week, not status reports.

  4. 4

    Handover + support

    30 days included

    Deployment, documentation and a walkthrough. 30 days of bug fixes at no charge.

Typical timelines

4–6 weeks
MVP / single platform
8–12 weeks
Multi-surface (web + mobile)
1–3 weeks
Scoped feature or rescue

Estimates, not promises — the proposal in step 2 carries the real dates.

Building something with moving parts?

A 30-minute call to pressure-test the idea. You leave with a written scope whether we work together or not.

— About Me

Who is Daniel Efegoma?

I'm Daniel Efegoma, a platform engineer based in Nigeria. I build the kind of software that has moving parts: marketplaces with two sides to balance, fintech systems where the rules have to be enforced rather than trusted, and blockchain products where key management is the hard problem. That usually means more than one surface — a Laravel or FastAPI backend, a web dashboard in Next.js, and a React Native app — designed as one system rather than three disconnected projects. I've taken products through this end to end, including as technical founder, so I think about architecture, delivery and the trade-offs in between.
