@lueyiyornumbe
I build reliable backend systems for financial workflows, AI products, and high-scale data platforms.
What I'm looking for
I've built and operated backend systems for Atom Group, Product Studio HQ, and Punch Agency, spanning conversational AI, fixed deposits, and AI-assisted data platforms. My work has reduced application latency from five seconds to two seconds and cut 100,000+ row ELT processing from 12 hours to two.
At Product Studio HQ, I delivered a fixed-deposit module with reconciliation, interest accrual, liquidation, rollover, audit logs, compliance controls, and a shadow ledger backed by MIFOS/Fineract. I focus on financial correctness through transactions, optimistic locking, idempotency, and rigorous automated testing.
I've owned architecture, delivery, and reliability across Python, Django, FastAPI, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, queues, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD. I also mentor engineers, establish technical standards, and work directly with clients and stakeholders to turn complex requirements into dependable products.
