I’m a blockchain-focused builder dedicated to empowering African developers and delivering impactful Web3 solutions, blending technical expertise with a passion for mentorship and innovation.
Hi, I’m Peter Adaaku Jr., a passionate software engineer, educator, and community builder — and currently the CEO/Co-founder of Blockfuse Labs, a developer hub shaping Africa’s next generation of Web3 builders. My journey started in Makurdi, Nigeria, where I began as a crypto enthusiast and transitioned into full-time engineering. Over time, I realized that many brilliant minds around me lacked access to proper guidance, mentorship, and technical resources. That inspired me to create Blockfuse Labs — a place where people like me could get a real shot at building a future in tech. Today, I lead a growing team training developers, building products, and nurturing local blockchain ecosystems across Nigeria — from Jos to Benue and beyond. I’m committed to decentralization, community-led innovation, and empowering African youth to solve real-world problems with technology. Let’s build the future, together.
