Building software that builds businesses. Founder of ForgeGrowth — the WhatsApp Growth System turning Nigerian businesses into 24/7 sales machines. Shipping real products from Nigeria where every line of code has to count.
I'm Hussein — a full-stack developer and founder based in Nigeria. I started writing code because I wanted to build things. I started a company because I wanted those things to matter.
At ForgeGrowth, I build the system that turns Nigerian businesses' WhatsApp into a 24/7 sales machine — capturing leads, replying instantly with AI, following up automatically, and closing customers while the owner sleeps. I wear every hat: architecture, TypeScript, client systems, and business strategy at 2am.
I also build in the open. Lodenix gives AI tools real-world signal via a single API call. NaijaMind is a fine-tuned LLM that finally understands Nigerian Pidgin, business context, and culture. Both Apache 2.0 — built to be used, not gatekept.
I work in NeoVim + Ghostty because your tools shape how you think. Deep in TypeScript daily, picking up Go for systems work, learning Rust because some problems deserve the right tool.
ForgeGrowth is a WhatsApp Growth System for Nigerian businesses. Not a website agency. We build and manage the system that turns a business's WhatsApp into a 24/7 sales machine — capturing leads, replying instantly, following up automatically, and closing customers while the owner focuses on running their business.
Nigeria has 52 million+ WhatsApp Business downloads. 95% of Nigeria's digital population uses WhatsApp. Yet most Nigerian SMBs manage it manually — losing leads to slow replies, forgotten follow-ups, and zero automation. We fix the system. One closed deal from WhatsApp covers the entire monthly fee.
The intelligence layer for AI tools. One API call feeds your models real-world signal — curated, scored, and served by domain. Sales tactics, trading signals, viral hooks, ad copy angles — all auto-refreshed and prompt-ready. No vector DB, no scraping pipeline, no RAG infrastructure to build. Built for developers shipping AI products who can't afford to hallucinate.
An AI that actually speaks Nigerian. Fine-tuned on Qwen 3 to understand Pidgin, local business context, and how people here really communicate. Knows “abeg”, “wahala”, Paystack, USSD flows, and ₦500 buying power. Open weights, Apache 2.0 — AI that finally sounds like home and is free for anyone to use or build on.
Whether you want to talk business, collaborate on open source, or just geek out on tech and the Nigerian builder scene — reach out.
