7+ Years. Real Products. Global Scale.

I'm Obinna Okoro, a React Native developer based in Abuja, Nigeria. I specialise in building end-to-end mobile applications for iOS and Android — from architecture to App Store.

My work spans real-time trading systems, P2P crypto platforms, and secure fintech applications. I believe the best mobile app isn't the flashiest — it's the one that's fast, reliable, and delights the user every time.

Outside of work, I'm drawn to the intersection of mobile engineering and emerging technology — whether that's prototyping blockchain-powered mobile apps, profiling and optimising performance bottlenecks, or contributing to open-source tools that make developers' lives easier.
