I build fast, think in systems, and ship products that survive real users.

I'm a Software Engineer who builds production-ready systems — not toy demos.

I design and ship scalable full-stack and AI-powered platforms used by thousands of users, with a strong bias for performance, reliability, and real-world constraints: low latency, high concurrency, offline-first, and cost efficiency.

Beyond building, I lead engineering teams, pitch technical products, and speak publicly — translating complex systems into language decision-makers and real users actually understand.

AI-driven anti-piracy platform protecting African filmmakers from content theft. Distributed backend with sub-300ms content-matching latency, event-driven Bull queue architecture coordinating parallel Gemini AI inference jobs across multiple content streams.

Node.js MongoDB Gemini AI Bull Queues Express

Founding Backend Engineer at a seed-funded startup building an AI-powered adaptive learning platform. SLM inference pipeline dynamically rewrites and personalizes learning content per user in real-time. Async BullMQ workers handle multi-format material ingestion at scale.

FastAPI Python SLM PostgreSQL Redis BullMQ

High-concurrency e-voting system engineered for the University of Lagos Engineering Society elections. Handles 20,000+ simultaneous votes with sub-50ms response times, 100% data integrity via MongoDB transactions, and WebSocket broadcasting to 3,500+ concurrent clients.

TypeScript Node.js MongoDB Redis WebSockets Express

Voice-first, offline-capable phishing and website verification system with real-time threat detection. Built for low-connectivity African environments with on-device ML inference and zero-dependency threat scanning.

Python FastAPI ML WebSockets

AI academic assistant helping undergraduates plan, track, and predict academic outcomes. Integrates with course structures and grading systems to surface actionable grade projections.

TypeScript Node.js MongoDB AI Integration

Languages TypeScript JavaScript (ES6+) Python Java SQL

Frontend React Next.js Tailwind CSS Shadcn/ui Redux Zustand Radix UI

Backend Node.js Express.js FastAPI Django Spring Boot

Databases & Caching MongoDB PostgreSQL Redis — query optimization, indexing, transactions

Infra & DevOps Docker GitHub Actions AWS (S3, EC2) CI/CD BullMQ Vercel Render

Payments Paystack Stripe — idempotent transactions, webhook processing
