About Me

Hi, I'm Bolaji and I'm a Software Engineer and Sneakerhead. I live in Brooklyn and I currently work at Mercury (we're hiring!) where we're building world class financial tools for startups.

I'm generally pretty interested in fintech products and more recently, consumer social.

In my spare time, I’ll either be playing pickup soccer, learning to play the piano or trying out a new restaurant in New York.

Please send me an email if any of that seems interesting to you, I like reading email.
