Web3Bridge Solidity Bootcamps
Directed consecutive bootcamps (Cohorts 09–13), end-to-end admissions, curriculum coordination, welfare, mentors, and capstone demo days while strengthening systems for retention and delivery.
Expanded beyond Solidity by delivering a Starknet-funded masterclass, launching a Backend Development track, and helping run Web2 Launchpad (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) and Web2 Advanced (React.js + advanced JavaScript) programs across 4 cohorts.
Coordinated and documented final-week capstones through writing PRDs and demo day oversight, several projects later secured ecosystem grants and migrated to Starknet. These outcomes highlight the pipeline strength of Web3Bridge programs and my role in enabling promising products to emerge from training environments.
Serving as product manager and frontend engineer for a Starknet-based financial infrastructure that enables seamless fiat–crypto integration for African users.
Developed a production-grade payment flow for student registrations, integrating Flutterwave for transactions and Google Sheets for real-time reporting to leadership. Adopted across multiple cohorts, streamlining fee collection and oversight.
Built and standardized GitHub repo templates (structures, examples, and READMEs) that centralized assignments and capstones, creating a transparent system for accountability, mentor reviews, and sponsor reporting.
Coordinated program operations and student logistics, contributing to the successful delivery of Africa’s largest Web3 conference edition featuring talks, workshops, and a hackathon.
Facilitated a developer meetup as part of Devcon’s global satellite series, featuring talks, Q&A, and networking to connect local builders with the wider Ethereum community.
