What I work on
Geospatial & digital infrastructure
Applying GIS and spatial analytics to telecoms, land, housing and infrastructure: coverage planning, market sizing, risk mapping and decision support.
Proptech & housing systems
Designing digital land and housing rails where parcels, titles and transactions are first-class data – not files trapped in cabinets.
Fintech & cross-border rails
Building payment flows that connect diaspora capital, local markets and real assets, with compliance and transparency baked in from day one.
SlasProp+SlasPay – one rail for land & money
Most systems split land information and payment flows into separate silos. SlasProp+SlasPay treats them as one continuous process: map the parcel, verify the rights, move the money – on rails that governments, banks and buyers can trust.
The platform is being designed for use cases in Nigeria, wider Africa and North America, with GIS, blockchain and cloud infrastructure under the hood.

About Victor
I’ve spent over eighteen years working at the intersection of telecoms, GIS, market research and product building – mostly in African markets, increasingly with a North American lens.
My background includes a Master’s degree in Applied GIS, hands-on telecom and analytics roles, and now founding Slas Technologies , focused on land, housing and payment infrastructure.
The through-line: map reality well, and capital, policy and opportunity can flow more intelligently.
