Akinkunmi doesn't describe himself as a founder first. He's a builder — someone who notices friction in his own workflow and quietly ships a fix. Over the last two years, that habit has produced three products used by thousands of developers and designers across the continent.
Starting with the problem in front of you
Byteship began as an internal script for handling uploads on a side project. Outray followed when he got tired of paying for tunnels to show clients work running on localhost. Avnac, an open design editor in the browser, came from wanting a tool that worked well on the laptops and connections most of his friends actually had.
“If a tool is slow on a Lagos connection, it's broken for most of my users. That's my benchmark.”
Open source by default
All three products are open source. For Akinkunmi, it's less a business model than a way of paying it forward: every repo is a chance for another developer to learn how production software is actually built.
What's next
He's focused on making the three products work better together — A single account, shared billing, and a CLI that ties storage, tunnels and design exports into one workflow.
