THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Always asking. Always building.

I’m Arinze. I work across software, security, and products—with a particular interest in the systems people depend on.

The tools change.
The curiosity stays.

01 / THE STORY

A curious path.

I started early: a 2018 internship at Ventures Platform Fund in Nigeria, working on data security, server management, and operations. Later, I founded TechBuzz, a media platform about technology and society.

Building the platform meant building the site, working with writers, setting the editorial direction, and figuring out the operations. I’m still drawn to work that crosses those boundaries.

Now, that work includes group payments at Splita, browser-native authentication at Queralt, and data security at Cyera.

Computer Science at NYU, Class of 2028. Previously Trinity College.

02 / HOW I WORK

Direction is the craft.

01

Start with the system.

Understand the protocol, the people, and the constraints. The interface is only one part of the problem.

02

Build to find out.

Give an idea something to stand on: a prototype, an experiment, or a working implementation.

03

Test the assumptions.

A useful result should stand up to questions. Check the details, try the edge cases, and keep learning from what happens.

03 / OFF THE CLOCK

Another kind
of momentum.

I competed in track and field at Trinity College. The public athletics record lists sprinting events and results.

The tools change.
The curiosity stays.

something matter.

Interesting problems. Thoughtful people. Real things, built.
