I built HireJourney solo, shipping an AI career platform live with 50+ users across Nigeria and internationally. I handled backend, payments, and AI orchestration end-to-end—from zero to production—and kept it running with production-grade APIs.

On HireJourney, I engineered 40+ RESTful FastAPI endpoints for auth, ATS analysis, resume processing, job tracking, interview simulation, and cover letter generation. I also built async AI orchestration pipelines using OpenRouter LLM APIs for job-fit scoring, ATS analysis, and dynamic interview generation.

Before that, I scaled APIs at Meerge Africa by integrating Paystack with failover logic and improving DB query latency with indexing and Redis caching. I also designed OTP verification across production traffic and added automated tests and CI/CD to keep releases stable.

I’ve also shipped Flutter apps for fintech and healthcare clients, and built systems across web and mobile during my Semicolon Africa fellowship. I enjoy owning a system end-to-end and getting it in front of real users quickly.
