Balogun Al-aminHi, I'm Balogun Al-amin, a Lagos-based software developer who also does marketing. I write the code, and the launch plan, the landing page copy and the emails that bring the first thousand users in.
now building
An ecommerce platform
From the storefront to the checkout, designed, built and marketed end to end.
the code I wrotehow I got it used
Learning journal · iOS & Android
A calm daily companion for the things you teach yourself. Track courses, run focus sessions and keep a streak, with no ads, feeds or accounts.
Built
Two native apps: SwiftUI on iOS with Live Activities, widgets and iCloud sync, and Kotlin on Android
the result
Live on the App Store and Google Play
Multi-tenant SaaS · POS & inventory
Point-of-sale and inventory for small Nigerian retailers that records what the bank and card terminal actually confirmed, not what staff say happened, and flags every discrepancy.
Built
19k lines of TypeScript on Cloudflare’s edge, a database per tenant, 586 tests and four payment providers
the result
Live in production, with real shops taking card and transfer payments
Web apps and sites, from first commit to production.
Launch plans, landing pages, content and campaigns.
I got into code because I wanted to build things people would actually use. Then I shipped a few and hit the hard part: getting anyone to notice them. So I learned the other half too, the copy, the launch and the SEO, because a good product nobody finds doesn't help anyone.
I love working on software and embedded systems, the kind of projects where the code has to hold up in the real world.
let's talk
Tell me a little about it and I’ll reply within a day. Prefer email? That works too.
