Hi, I'm Udori.

I build the systems that move money.

Software engineer · Financial infrastructure · London

I build payment and financial infrastructure, the ledgers, orchestration layers, and unglamorous plumbing that move money around without falling over. At work, that happens at global scale. In my own time, I'm drawn to emerging markets, particularly across Africa, where I spend much of my time exploring ideas and building projects. That's where much of my passion lies. Outside of that, I dabble in creative writing, follow the markets, and occasionally invest in projects I'm excited to see come to life.
