Joachim Ukaegbu is a Cameroonian software engineer and entrepreneur. He co-founded and leads Fapshi as chief executive officer. The platform helps businesses collect payments and manage finances in a simple and structured way.

Founded in 2022, Fapshi provides a suite of tools that allows companies to collect payments, manage funds daily, send money to multiple accounts, and track all operations through a single interface. The platform offers a testing environment before live deployment and does not charge installation fees. It applies fees only to successful transactions.

Moreover, Fapshi enables users to receive different types of payments through easily shareable links with clients or communities. Once distributed, these links centralize payments within the interface, which facilitates collections for contributions, donations, sales, registrations, and other financial flows.

In addition, companies can integrate the solution into a website or an existing application. The platform emphasizes practical and efficient financial management. Beyond collections, Fapshi allows users to send funds and organize withdrawals with ease.

Alongside his entrepreneurial activities, Joachim Ukaegbu works as a software engineer at OpenMRS, an open-source medical record system designed for low-resource environments.

He graduated from the University of Buea in 2022 with a master’s degree in software engineering. Between 2018 and 2022, he worked as a software engineer and web developer at several organizations, including LibreHealth, which develops technology solutions for the healthcare sector.
