I design and ship backend systems, relay infrastructure, and mobile apps — the kind that stay online when thousands of people are actually using them.
I'm Gidmo. Most of my work is backend systems and infrastructure — the layer that has to keep functioning whether ten people are using it or ten thousand are.
My main project, ArenaAnywhere, is a relay service for PSP multiplayer gaming running on servers across three continents. It got picked up and integrated directly into PPSSPP, the most widely used PSP emulator, as an official feature. I'm also co-founder and a builder on MySalesCat, an e-commerce platform giving Nigerian sellers a store, WhatsApp/Telegram selling bots, POS, and inventory tools in one place.
I use whatever the problem actually needs — C for performance-critical server code, Kotlin and Flutter for mobile, Node.js for the services tying everything together.
Things I've built, shipped, and kept running.
A free relay service that lets PSP players connect for ad-hoc multiplayer over the internet. Runs on servers across South Africa, Asia, and Europe. I built the infrastructure, the companion Android app for direct peer connections, and handle all ongoing operations.
View project →An e-commerce platform built for Nigerian sellers, co-founded and built by our team. It gives sellers an online store plus WhatsApp and Telegram bots that take orders and generate payment links automatically, a POS system for receipts, multi-store inventory transfers, and an AI assistant that helps set everything up — no technical knowledge required.
In progressNo surprises between kickoff and delivery.
I'm currently taking on a limited number of freelance projects. Tell me what you're building.
