About Me

I'm Ejei-Okeke Emmanuel, but just call me Emino (air-me-know). I work at the intersection of product and engineering, with a focus on fintech and payments: routing, settlements, credit, identity, and the infrastructure decisions that make them reliable at scale.

I hold an MBA in Fintech & Blockchain from Nexford University (4.00 CGPA), and I still ship code. That combination shapes how I work. I can set direction and sit in the codebase that executes it, often on the same day.

What I'm Building

Alongside my product and engineering roles, I co-found and lead technical teams. Three active ventures:

  1. Veem

    Co-founder & CEO

    The trust layer for modern identity

    A consent-first identity verification and KYC orchestration layer for Nigeria, aggregating BVN, NIN checks and biometric verification into a single confidence-scored identity signal for merchants. I lead strategy and product direction; my two co-founders and I are all engineers by background.

    BVN · NIN · Biometrics · KYC orchestration

  2. Rimoswap

    Co-founder, previously CTO

    Removing the friction from web3 payments

    Rimoswap makes stablecoin transfers and crypto-to-fiat flows simpler for everyday users across Africa. As CTO until March 2026, I led engineering across trading, wallets, P2P and cross-border payments, and built Rimoswap Tags: send to a handle, not a wallet address. I now advise on direction.

    Trading · Wallets · P2P · Stablecoin payments

  3. Emino Digital Technologies

    Founder

    Engineering digital systems that endure

Passion & Interests

My world outside of software development.

While I'm deeply passionate about crafting innovative software solutions, my world extends far beyond the digital realm. Here are a few of my interests that fuel my creativity and keep me grounded.

A painting hanging in my home

  • Art

    I have a deep appreciation for art in all its forms. From paintings and sculptures to photography and even fashion. Art has the power to evoke emotions and enrich our lives.

  • Music

    To put it simply, I love music. I live for it. Just like any other art form, good music evokes emotions and emotions make the life experience more beautiful. Check out some of my favourite curated Spotify playlists.

  • Sports

    Football in particular. I was born a Liverpool fan and I intend to die that way. I also love tennis, badminton. I wouldn't say I love basketball, I just love watching Steph play.

  • Anime

    I'm a fan of the new generation of anime. JJK, AOT, Demon Slayer, Vinland Saga, etc. Expect to hear more about anime from me in the near future... Hopefully 🙂‍↕️

  • Gaming

    Gaming serves as a great way for me to relax and unwind. While I'm not a hardcore competitive gamer, I enjoy the immersive experiences it offers.

  • Adventures

    So typically, I love staying indoors, but nature has a calming effect on me. I love hiking, camping, exploring new destinations and taking late night walks/drives.
