Joshua Olatunji is a Nigerian engineering leader, software architect, and founder of Dependly — a contract infrastructure and milestone-based transaction platform designed to enforce trust where delivery risk exists. His work focuses on contract disbursement infrastructure, verification-driven payments, and financial infrastructure for real-world execution.

With deep expertise in distributed systems, backend architecture, DevOps, Kubernetes, and fintech infrastructure, Joshua has led engineering initiatives across payment systems, API orchestration, and scalable transaction platforms, including leading cross-border payment initiatives at Expedier—a Canadian fintech platform providing digital financial services and multi-currency transactions. He combines control-oriented systems thinking with AI-assisted engineering to build resilient products capable of operating in high-trust and high-risk environments.

His current research interests explore the intersection of Large Language Models (LLMs), software quality evaluation, and reinforced reasoning systems, particularly within fintech and enterprise software ecosystems.

Joshua is passionate about building systems that move beyond transactions into enforceable accountability — where money moves only when work is verified.
