Ṣèun Àkànnì
The story
so far.
I'm Ṣèun Àkànnì — a frontend engineer who builds things and sees them through. Five years in, I've worked across fintech, food delivery, and workforce management — mostly in small teams where there's no room to hide, which I prefer.
On the side I'm building Papertrail — a document renewal tracker so you never get caught out by an expired passport or visa. It's live at usepapertrail.app. Ten active users, no marketing spend.
When I'm not coding, I'm on a basketball court, in a pool, or at a rave. The nights in between go to recipes, blog posts, and whatever product problem I haven't been able to shake.

Twice a week on the court. The rest goes to recipes, blog posts, and whatever product problem won't leave my head.
