Marcus — Frontend Developer & Founder

About

Builder by nature.
Founder by choice.

I'm Marcus — a frontend developer and founder with a sharp eye for product and a bias for shipping. I care about code that's clean, UIs that are fast, and products that actually solve real problems.

My flagship project is Workspace Africa — an operating system and gateway platform for coworking spaces. I'm also co-building Siro, a Nigerian tax compliance SaaS to take the pain of VAT tracking and FIRS-compliant reporting off the plates of SMEs. I'm doing everything: product, frontend, go-to-market.

Beyond my own ventures, I take on technical projects across fintech, legal tech, and Web3 — diagnosing hard bugs, building full features, and shipping to production. I'm also a Business Management student at Miva Open University, which sharpens how I think about product, market, and growth.
