What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-native applications and high-scale backend systems where I can own products end to end, integrate LLMs into real workflows, and automate costly operational processes.

At Guufs Global, I build AI-native products including a crypto-naira payment platform, an autonomous AI real estate agent, and LLM-powered industrial data services for DexaView. I own product delivery from FastAPI and PostgreSQL backends to Next.js deployments on Railway.

I've also improved high-volume systems across agritech, education, government, fintech, and logistics—cutting response times by 40%, reducing university batch processing from 8 hours to under 45 minutes, and mentoring junior developers.
