About

Lots of AI projects look amazing in a demo and then nobody ever actually uses them. I'm the engineer who turns AI ideas into tools real people use every day. I build AI systems that read, search, and reason over a company's own information on AWS, built to keep running reliably after launch, not just on my laptop. I have a computer science background, AWS Machine Learning certification, and experience delivering AI across regions for an AWS partner. I work best with startups and small teams who have a great AI idea and need someone to make it real. Open to remote roles worldwide.

AI lead

lagos, Lagos, Nigeria

Summary

As AI lead at 9Stack, I owned the AI behind a build-by-chatting product — describe an app or website in plain language and the AI builds it. I chose the models, designed the generation pipeline, and built and deployed it myself, taking the AI from idea to a working MVP at startup pace and setting the technical direction the rest of the team built on.

Highlights

Built the core AI generation pipeline that turns a plain-language chat prompt into a working app or website.

Architected the long-running generation as asynchronous background jobs with Inngest, so builds run reliably with retries and durable state instead of timing out inside a single request.

Owned model selection and the prompt and orchestration design the AI architecture the rest of the team built on.

Took the product's AI from zero to a working MVP as the sole AI owner, going from concept to a usable build-by-chat experience.

Summary

As CTO of Ojiffy, I own the technical side of a quick-commerce marketplace connecting Lagos shoppers with verified local vendors for delivery in under 6 hours. Currently in MVP with 5 onboarded vendors and product testing underway ahead of a marketing launch. I'm building the architecture, the vendor onboarding flow, and the AI customer assistant that handles support at scale without a human behind every message.

Highlights

Built and deployed the full marketplace platform vendor onboarding, product listings, cart, bank transfer checkout, real-time order tracking, and a live chat layer connecting buyers, vendors, and riders.

Summary

I build proof-of-concept GenAI and machine learning systems on AWS for enterprise clients — fast, working prototypes that prove out what's possible before a full production build. My POCs span retrieval-augmented (RAG) assistants, agentic workflows, and ML services across banking, aviation, and agritech, each built to demonstrate real, measurable results rather than just a slide deck.

Highlights

Built a text-to-SOW generator on an MCP-based agentic architecture, used by the solution-architects team to draft statements of work into company templates — demonstrating a drop in drafting time from 30 minutes to under 5.

Built a text-to-video/image proof-of-concept that turns written SOPs into visual walkthroughs, optimizing the pipeline to cut generation latency from 500s to 120s (~4x faster).

Built RAG assistant prototypes returning grounded, cited answers over domain documents, across banking, aviation, and agritech use cases.

Provisioned the supporting infrastructure with Terraform on AWS (Bedrock, Lambda, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, S3) for clean, reproducible prototype deployments.

THE BUILDER FOUNDATION

Served as both a children's educator and in-house designer at The Builder Foundation, a faith-based nonprofit. I taught weekly Bible study classes to children and contributed to general operations, while also owning the design of the organization's annual magazine end to end from concept to print-ready publication.

Highlights

Designed and published the foundation's annual magazine end to end, handling layout, visuals, and print-ready production as the sole designer.

Taught weekly Bible study sessions to children, developing lesson plans and creating an engaging learning environment.

Contributed to weekly operations and community upkeep, supporting the foundation's day-to-day mission.
