Software for businesses that run in the real world.
I am Emmanuel Ogu, a software developer in Accra. I build the frontend for a cross-border remittance app, a till that keeps trading when the network drops, and storefronts that close their orders where the customer already is. Things that have to work when the conditions are not ideal, because here they rarely are.
Software Engineer at SendAfrika. Previously frontend at JSSolutionshub.

What I build
Three kinds of work I am genuinely good at.
Frontends for money
Interfaces where the cost of a mistake is somebody's rent. Component systems, honest error states, and flows designed around what goes wrong.
- Design systems
- API integration
- Failure-state design
Storefronts that sell here
E-commerce built around how people in African markets actually buy: mobile first, light on data, and closing the sale in the channel the customer is already in.
- Catalogue and search
- WhatsApp and mobile money flows
- Technical SEO that gets you found
Internal tools that hold up
Point of sale, admin panels, dashboards. The unglamorous software a business runs on all day, built to survive a dropped connection and an untrained user.
- Offline-first architecture
- Hardware integration
- Owner-facing reporting
How I think
Most software is written for conditions that do not exist here.
Stable connections. Card penetration. Customers who will make an account. Every one of those assumptions is baked into the default way we are taught to build, and every one of them breaks in a shop in Accra.
So I start from the constraint instead of the stack. The question is never what is the correct architecture, it is what still works at 4pm on a Friday when the network is gone and there are six people in the queue. The answers are usually simpler and less fashionable, and they stay standing.
A feature that fails in the one moment it is needed was never really shipped.
Also
I run currency exchange.
Cedi, naira, dollar, euro. It is not a side note to the software work, it is part of why I understand it. Knowing how money actually moves in and out of this region is the reason the products I build for it hold up.
Rates move daily, so I quote on the day rather than publishing a number here.
Open for work
Got something that has to work on a bad connection, in a real shop, with real money?
Open to full-time remote roles, freelance projects and collaborations. Tell me what you are building and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
