GFDIR.org, the Global Food Data & Information Repository, is one API for the messy parts of food data: nutrition, prices and the regional variants of the same dish, cleaned up across 19+ countries. Peanut butter, groundnut paste and beurre de cacahuète resolve to one canonical food.
Every row says whether it is verified (from sources such as USDA, FSANZ, Anses and the FAO) or crowdsourced. Local units like the derica, livre and jin are converted with food-specific densities, and prices refresh daily in local currency. Available over REST and GraphQL.
Pricing Free tier: 10,000 requests a month, no card needed (as of Oct 2026)
3 parts
- REST and GraphQL API
- Food explorer
- Developer docs
19+ countries covered, Oct 2026

RentWise makes renting transparent: tenants leave anonymous reviews of homes, landlords and agents, so the next renter knows what they are walking into before they sign.
I founded it and lead product, growth and engineering. Reviews are verified against proof of tenancy, and identities are never shown to landlords.
Pricing Free for renters; paid tools for property managers (as of Oct 2026)

myGUY watches the conversations that matter to a brand on X, alerts the team when something needs attention and drafts on-voice replies for a human to approve.
I built it end to end: the monitoring pipeline, alert rules and the AI drafting loop.

Tee Y Farms
Tee Y Farms & Investments Limited
Tee Y Farms raises broilers and foreign turkeys and grows rice and maize. We started in a leased poultry pen for 10,000 birds and, within 13 months of full operations, owned a strategically located acre of land in Port Harcourt city.
On it we built a 4,000-bird deep-litter pen, which has lifted our output of broilers and turkeys. In 2022 alone we planted more than 350 acres of rice and maize, growing the farm and its share of the market.
