Johnson Ejezie

I build mobile apps that ship — and increasingly, I design them and run the backend too. Ten years of iOS, tvOS, watchOS and Flutter, now with coding agents as a daily part of the workflow. Streaming at Gaia, payments at Bundle, crypto wallets at Nestcoin, and my own game on both app stores right now.

Reckon FC

reckonfc.com

A free-to-play Premier League prediction game. Call all ten matches each gameweek, ninety seconds, one thumb — then everything locks at the first kickoff and the group chat finds out who actually knows ball. Built solo — native iOS and native Android clients, backend, release pipeline and marketing site — with coding agents doing the heavy lifting on implementation and review. Design is mine too: app UI, motion, brand and this landing page. Live on the App Store and Google Play.
