What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote, autonomous work with international investment and engineering teams.

At Livepeer, I designed real-time video streaming infrastructure and integrated Hugging Face models for dynamic video and image transformations. I also built asynchronous processing pipelines and CI/CD workflows for reliable deployments.

At ZeroComplexAI, I engineered APIs and event-driven microservices for an AI-powered platform, with sub-100ms response times. I optimized Redis caching and BullMQ task queues, integrated Stripe and Paystack, and led the migration of legacy endpoints to microservices.

At BetaKopa, I built backend systems for an EdTech platform that supported over 1,000 active users with 99.9% uptime. I also developed AI operations projects, including a governed proposal workflow and a deterministic KPI engine that computed 26 financial and operational metrics.
