I’m an Automation & Systems Engineer building scalable AI-powered operational systems that cut manual work.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Automation & Systems Engineer specializing in designing scalable automation infrastructure and AI-powered operational systems. I build production-grade workflows using n8n, Python, and API integrations to eliminate manual processes—backed by an LLM-driven automation approach with Claude and OpenAI APIs. Through my Automation Engineer & Founder work, I’ve architected multi-agent AI orchestration pipelines that reduced manual research effort by over 60%, and built stakeholder communication automations that generate structured operational updates and scheduled leadership briefings.
I’m especially focused on human-in-the-loop reliability and secure integrations: I design Slack approval systems with decision gates, implement OAuth2.0 and JWT authentication for third-party platforms, and add monitoring for real-time workflow status and system health. Previously, I led AI-powered automation infrastructure in a startup in Kano, digitizing onboarding, compliance tracking, and internal reporting, while reducing administrative processing time from days to minutes. Earlier, as a Software Developer, I built API-driven inventory and financial management systems using REST APIs and Flutter, including backend data pipelines for transaction reconciliation and analytics—always turning complex requirements into dependable automation.
