Summary
Abdulrasheed Tella is a seasoned full-stack engineer and integrations leader with nine years of experience building and scaling fintech and payment systems across Nigeria. Currently Team Lead, Integrations at Touch and Pay (YC W22), he architects robust API integrations, mentors engineering teams, and oversees mission-critical platforms that process hundreds of millions daily, including transit fare collection and merchant payments. He combines hands-on full-stack delivery (React, Node.js, PHP, .NET) with strategic partner work—onboarding banks, card processors, virtual accounts and more—to turn complex third-party ecosystems into reliable product features. A mechanical engineering graduate who transitioned into software, he brings practical systems thinking and operational rigor from hardware-rooted problem solving to software architecture. Colleagues rely on him for cross-functional leadership: running frontend and backend teams, owning documentation and QA processes, and smoothing partner handoffs. He’s equally comfortable shipping product features and diving into low-level integration issues, making him a dependable bridge between product, ops, and external partners.
