AI Product Engineer and Full-Stack Developer shipping production-grade LLM apps for African markets.
What I'm looking for
I’m a self-driven AI Product Engineer and Full-Stack Developer with 3+ years of hands-on experience building and shipping production-grade AI-powered applications. I started from foundational web development in 2023 and quickly progressed to architecting complete SaaS products used by thousands across Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya.
I specialize in integrating large language model APIs—Gemini, Claude, and OpenAI—into real-world products that solve meaningful African market problems. I ship end-to-end features, moving from UI to backend to deployment with speed and quality.
Independently, I’ve conceived, designed, built, and deployed four production AI products end-to-end—from idea to live users—leveraging custom prompt engineering across multiple LLMs. I’ve also built full Paystack payment infrastructure with webhook handling and delivered AI-native experiences for users, with zero marketing budget driven by product value and word of mouth.
