Intro ↘

Challenges ↘

Deliver a secure Nigerian fintech and e-commerce experience that combines savings, credit, and investments with curated retail (Jolly), strong admin controls, and clear data for operations and users.

Users needed one place to save, borrow, invest, and access essentials without juggling multiple products or losing visibility into goals and balances.
Handling money and identity required trustworthy authentication (including 2FA and local auth), session boundaries, and protection against abuse (rate limits and cooldowns surfaced in the UI and enforced server-side).
The admin surface had to match a Figma design while staying responsive, with dynamic content, media workflows (including drag-and-drop image selection), and tools that stay usable under real operational load.
Operations needed granular control: role-based restrictions so pages, actions, and content only appear when the user’s role includes the right permissions.
Payments had to work through established Nigerian providers (Paystack and Flutterwave), including reliable flows for account-to-account transfers where applicable.
Leadership and support teams needed practical reporting: charts, custom views, date filters, progress summaries, and exports (e.g. spreadsheets) without a separate analytics stack for every question.

Technologies ↘

Solution ↘

Shipped a Nuxt/Vue admin and customer experience with Laravel-backed services, payments, RBAC, CMS-driven content, and reporting that matches design and security expectations.

Deliverables:

Implemented the Figma-designed admin CMS and core flows, including responsiveness and UX fixes on the landing page and user dashboard.
Integrated Paystack and Flutterwave for payments and related money movement, including account-to-account transfer flows as supported by the product.
Built a permission model where roles group permissions and access to pages, functions, and content is enforced consistently on the client and server.
Hardened authentication and session handling (correct credentials, limited sessions) and added request throttling with user-visible limits and cooldowns.
Centralized admin-managed content for admin and user surfaces, with steps streamlined for day-to-day curation.
Added data visualization (charts, custom charts, date selectors), progress views, and table export to sheets for operational reporting.

Impact:

Users get a single, coherent path for savings, loans, investments, and the Jolly retail layer—supporting discipline against impulse spending and pressure from food inflation.
Stronger trust posture through 2FA, local auth patterns, and mobile biometric options where applicable, plus abuse-aware API usage.
Admins can govern the product safely (RBAC) and run the business from curated content plus charts and exports instead of ad-hoc spreadsheets.
