I'm Otobong Peter, a systems and product engineer focused on building intelligent systems that connect people, code, and capital — making real-world coordination smarter across health, finance, and work. My experience spans distributed systems, blockchain infrastructure, AI applications, and requirements engineering.
I wrote my first line of C++ in 2014. Ever since then, I got hooked at the permissionless opportunity in tech, did a couple of web gigs but really went all in professionally in 2019. I started as a hardware intern, working on microcontrollers and IoT devices. That hands-on experience shaped my love for systems level work. My first research project was a facial-recognition door lock, it formed the basis of my undergraduate thesis.
In 2020, I led the Google Developer Student Club at Rivers State University, where I deepened my interest in developer education and community-driven engineering. Later, I co-founded ABCD Africa to onboard developers into blockchain technology while building products, and I helped grow the Blacks in Technology Nigeria chapter into an award-winning chapter back in 2022.
I worked as a senior software engineer at LTO Network, where I engineered and owned the Ownables technology (digital assets with embedded smart contracts) and worked with EQTY Passport (decentralized identity framework) including other internal tools and relays that helped improve the goal towards real-world asset tokenization. I also led the migration of core assets to Base L2 when LTO Network sunset its public chain and rebranded to EQTY.
Outside of research and code, I write essays, lead OpenForge, a builder community and explore interests in leadership, theology, and fiction. I’m a Christian.
