Building the future
of digital identity

Hey! I'm Jesse, a third-year Engineering Physics student at Obafemi Awolowo University. I spend my days learning, building, and breaking blockchain tech — now making it real with PaxBlockchain.

Always curious, always building

I'm the kind of person who gets excited about ideas and the future. I love tech, startup culture, and the energy of places like San Francisco (hoping to visit someday! 🌉).

Right now, I'm deep in the world of blockchain and digital identity, turning years of learning into something that can actually solve real problems — starting with where I'm from, but built for everywhere.

When I'm not coding or studying physics, I'm probably watching anime (One Piece is elite! 🏴‍☠️), thinking about the next big thing to build, or reading about founders who started from zero.

Began my journey in Engineering Physics, diving into the world of science and technology

2023-2025

Student & Builder

Balancing physics lectures with blockchain development, growing both skill sets

Late 2025

Founded PaxBlockchain

Took the leap — started building infrastructure for digital identity and verifiable credentials

What's next?

The journey continues...

More to build, more to learn, more impact to make

What I'm building

PaxBlockchain

A Layer-1 blockchain for digital identity & verifiable credentials

Identity theft. Fake certificates. Data breaches. These aren't just tech problems — they're real issues affecting millions, especially in places like Nigeria and across Africa.

PaxBlockchain is my answer. We're building infrastructure that makes it impossible to fake credentials or steal identities. Imagine universities issuing degrees on-chain, hospitals managing patient records securely, and employers verifying candidates instantly — all transparent, tamper-proof, and actually usable.

Secure digital identity infrastructure

Verifiable credentials for education & healthcare

Tamper-proof, transparent, and decentralized

My approach

How I work

Not your typical tech founder

I'll be honest — I'm not super technical. I mostly vibe code, figuring things out as I go. But that's not what makes a founder anyway.

My strengths? Sales, operations, and making things happen. I'm the person who can talk to anyone, figure out what they need, and build the right thing to solve it. Tech is a tool, but execution is everything.

Still growing, still learning — I'm not done yet. 🚀

B2B is where it's at

I'm highly interested in B2B — there's something different about building solutions for businesses. Solving real operational problems, working with institutions, creating value at scale.

Not saying I don't like other sectors, but B2B just hits different. It's where you can make the biggest impact and build something that actually lasts.

The founder mindset

🎯
Execution over perfection

Ship fast, learn faster, iterate constantly

🤝
Relationship-first

Building trust and partnerships that last

🚀
Always learning

From physics to blockchain to whatever's next

Thoughts & ideas

Writing

I write about blockchain, tech, ideas, and the journey of building something from scratch. Sometimes technical, sometimes just thoughts.
