AI developer. Web engineer. Founder of Zyctra.
The person behind the code
Who I Am
Meet Francis Shakur
I'm Jidije Onyemaechi Francis — an AI developer and web engineer from Enugu State, in the South Eastern part of Nigeria. I build under the brand name Francis Shakur, designing premium, standard-compliant digital products: fast, mobile-first websites and applications made to perform, to rank, and to last.
I'm the founder of Zyctra — and I build for clients in any country.
Zyctra
An AI assistant with memory, built for careers. It runs mock interviews by text or voice, gives career guidance, builds job-ready CVs, and remembers you across conversations — alongside image generation, a website builder, and a developer API with an embeddable chat widget. It runs on my own AI models, built from scratch.
The Journey
Growth, milestone by milestone
Every project starts in the same place: the person using it. I care about the details most people never notice — how a page loads on a slow connection, how a layout feels on a phone, whether a site can even be found on Google. That focus on craft and standard is what separates a site that merely exists from one that truly works.
The Start
Began building real websites and web applications, learning by shipping work people actually use.
Client Work Across Industries
Delivered campaign sites, online stores, fintech and trading platforms, booking systems, logistics tools, and SaaS products for clients — each one installable as an app.

What's Next
Growing Zyctra and building more AI-powered products, with the best still to come.
Client Work
What I've built for clients
Alongside my own product, I've built many websites and platforms for clients. That work stays private — I don't publish client names, links, or screenshots — but these are the kinds of projects I deliver, each one mobile-first and installable as an app.
What Drives Me
Building from Nigeria, for the world
I build from Nigeria, for the world — creating software that holds its own anywhere. The best of my work is still ahead.
