What was in the way
A pan-African financial technology operator needed to unify disparate mobile money operators (M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money) and local bank card networks into a single API.
- 01Each regional mobile money operator possessed proprietary, legacy SOAP and REST APIs with frequent downtime.
- 02Unreliable internet connectivity between retail merchants and clearing servers led to dropped transactions.
- 03Multi-currency settlement required automated foreign exchange reconciliation to mitigate currency fluctuation risk.
The architecture, and why
Constructed an omni-channel digital payments gateway and idempotent transaction orchestrator bridging regional telecom mobile money networks with automated reconciliation.
- Unified payment orchestration API abstracting disparate mobile money and card network communication.
- Idempotent webhook handler ensuring zero double-charging during carrier network dropouts.
- Real-time foreign exchange rate converter computing instantaneous currency clearing margins.
- Automated end-of-day bank reconciliation ledger generating settlement audit reports for partner banks.
What is running in production
What changed, measured
Ventures are described by industry and geography rather than by name, so publishing never waits on a client's sign-off. Named detail replaces a descriptor whenever an approval arrives. The numbers above are unchanged either way — our delivery record is independently verifiable on Upwork.
Whether it's co-founding a venture from a blank repo, embedding a senior pod, or automating the back office — bring us the architecture problem and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team for it.
