Project Compass: Ecobank Litigation Audit
Led engineering for a N25M litigation audit system at Jackson, Etti & Edu. Built a Next.js dashboard and automated reporting engine that tracked ₦273B+ in financial exposure across 350+ cases. Solved critical data deduplication challenges preventing a ₦107B overestimation and implemented batch PDF processing (via Puppeteer/Playwright) to automatically generate 500+ page executive reports.
Key Metrics
The Challenge
A Tier-1 Nigerian bank needed to audit 350+ litigation matters across 6 states, tracking financial exposure across multiple currencies (NGN, USD, GBP, EUR). The existing data had 9 duplicate cases across 4 data sources, risking a ₦107B overestimation.
Solution
Built a comprehensive digital infrastructure with Next.js 15, featuring real-time filtering, dynamic financial calculations, cross-reference analysis for deduplication, and an automated PDF report generation engine using Puppeteer and Playwright with batch processing.
Systems Design Patterns
Data Deduplication Engine - Cross-reference analysis preventing financial discrepancies
Batch Processing Pipeline - 5-case batches for PDF generation optimization
Multi-Currency Architecture - Smart formatting with context-aware statistics
Type-Safe Data Layer - Centralized TypeScript types from 4 data sources
Business Impact
- Prevented ₦107B double-counting error through cross-reference analysis
- Reduced PDF generation time from hours to 8 seconds with batch processing
- Standardized data for 37 external law firms with 100+ name variations
- Enabled real-time filtering by risk level, currency, case status, and litigation theme
