Case study 01Fintech · Core banking· 2026 – present

Core banking at Peerless SGS

Frontend modules for SeaBaas and Mizan, the core banking platforms Peerless builds for banks and fintechs.

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Microfrontends
  • Component libraries
  1. 01 / 03 · Wireframe

    Start from the workflow

    Banking operations are full of steps, roles and approvals. Each screen starts from that workflow, so the person using it always knows what comes next and what needs sign-off.

  2. 02 / 03 · Components

    Build it once, share it

    Tables, forms, statuses and approvals come from one shared component library, so every module behaves the same and the next screen is quicker to build.

  3. 03 / 03 · Shipped

    Modules in production

    Each module ships as a React and TypeScript microfrontend inside the shared platform, wired to the REST APIs behind its banking operations.

03About

Frontend engineering for products where reliability matters.

I'm a frontend engineer in Lagos. Most of what I build is software people use to do their jobs: core banking at Peerless SGS, a field force dashboard for FMCG brands, and the chat experience of an AI product.

I work closely with design, product and backend engineers. The part I enjoy most is where their work meets mine: turning a complicated process and a Figma file into screens that are clear to use and easy for the next engineer to change.
