A little curiosity.
A lot of building.

ArinzeOkigbo.

People. Systems. Possibility.

I build at the intersection of security, identity, and AI. From browser-native authentication to tools that help people work and pay together.

01 / SELECTED WORK

Ideas, made real.

All projects

Products, protocols, and experiments. Different starting points. The same impulse to build something useful.

GROUP PAYMENT

Good plans.
Already paid.

One city. A shared service layer for its live signals.

02 / THE THROUGHLINE

Curiosity is the constant.

From a technology media platform to browser authentication and group payments. I like getting close to a problem, understanding its moving parts, and building something you can use.

The story so far

03 / THE LABORATORY

Don’t take my word for it. Play with it.

Inspect an authentication ceremony. Test a digital signature. Pull on a spring. A space for systems you can get your hands on.
