About

Hello, I’m Abdulsamii.

I’m Abdulsamii, a product engineer based in Nigeria. For ten years I’ve built for teams spread across time zones, from early-stage startups to Meta’s New Product Experimentation group, and I’ve learned that the best features are the ones you can measure.

My work sits where product, growth, and engineering meet: onboarding funnels, A/B experiments, analytics instrumentation, and the billing flows that turn usage into revenue. I own features end to end, from the first hypothesis to the dashboard that proves it worked. The same habit produced Hourfolk, a Chrome extension I built for anyone whose team or family lives in another time zone.

Away from client work I’ve trained and mentored hundreds of developers through the Andela Learning Community, CodeVillage, and community programs, and I still screen senior engineers for Andela.
